Run the Gateway from the Project Explorer

The Project menu enables you to create new projects and browse the existing projects on your computer. You can also load an existing project configuration, update a project configuration using the Project menu and execute projects using the Run button.

To start working with the Project menu of the Gateway:

1. Type SmartPlant 3D Gateway in the Search box on the taskbar in your computer. Alternatively, you can click the AVEVA NET Gateway For SmartPlant 3D 6.1 icon in the installed location or the shortcut icon on your desktop, if that option was selected when installing the Gateway.

2. AVEVA NET Gateway for SmartPlant 3D page opens with the Project and Help menus in the main window.

3. Click the Help icon to get the information relating to the Gateway version, copyright information and product synopsis.

   Note: The Gateway supports Universal Naming Convention (UNC) paths. By using UNC paths, you can connect to servers and other workstations without mapping to a drive.

   The UNC path syntax is as follows: \\servername\sharename\directory

   You can use this UNC path syntax in configurations and command line execution scripts. You must have the appropriate authorization to read/write to the target directory.
