![]() | Different actions (like scanning, CAD, milling) can be performed on different computers. E.g. you can use one machine for scanning, save the job there, and then load the job on a different machine and do the CAD design there. This requires both the database file (DentalDB.sqlite) and the project directories to reside on a network drive accessible on both PCs. Ask your network administrator to set up the network drive and to reconfigure the DentalDB module to use a database file from a network location. |
Deleting jobs
To delete a job, select it and in the new project information window click "Delete" [E]. It will then be hidden and disappear from the list. To undelete a job deleted by accident, click on the appropriate name in section[3]. Deleted jobs will then appear in the list, with a red background. Select the job to undelete, and the project information window will appear with 2 extra buttons. These buttons are : "Recover" and "Destroy"
- Recover allows you to mark the job as undeleted/refreshed, and on the active list again.
- Destroy allows you to permanently purge all jobs marked as deleted.
![]() | Once the Destroy button is pressed the file cannot be recovered again, this is permanent. Please be careful! |
