KEEP_SESSION_FILES

NO

Every time you perform a ‘Save Drawing…’ a new version of the .SDB file will be saved. By default previous versions will be deleted. If you want to keep old versions you should set this keyword to Yes. Keeping all session files will make it possible to do DABACON operations like, for example ‘roll back’, but can on the other hand bloat your file system.

MAX_DWGS_IN_REGI

1000

This is the maximum number of drawings that will be stored in one REGI element. When the REGI is ‘full’ a new version is created. The default value is 1000. This check is performed when you create the new drawing with Marine Drafting functionality, interactively or via Vitesse/MARAPI. If you create a drawing in the Command Window no such check is performed.

MAX_REGIS_IN_DEPT

10

This is the maximum number of REGI elements that will be stored below one DEPT element. This check is performed when new drawings are created, similar to MAX_DWGS_IN_REGI. The default value is 10. for further information, please refer to the 'Storing and Organization of Drawings in PADD Database' section of Marine Drafting User Guide.

DENY_UPDATE_OF_NON_PERSISTED_GEOM

NO

Controls the behavior of updating a geometry element belonging to a system component.

When updating a geometry element belonging to a system component that is persisted, the system can react in two ways:

allowing the update, keeping in mind that the modification will be lost at the time the component is re-evaluated

deny the modification on geometry level and instead allowing the modification on component level, if this is possible

The system will deny modification on geometry level if and only if

the geometry belongs to a persisted system component

the modification makes sense on component level

this keyword is set to YES

NO = Allow modification on geometry level

YES = Deny modification on geometry level
