- Close down all instances of Autodesk Revit,
Navigate to this file and copy it to a network location that all computers can access and have full read/write permissions to access.
Note title Note ProgramData is by default a hidden directory, so you may not be able to browse to the folder, however if you type the address into the address bar, it will be there.
- Navigate to: C:\Program Files\Xrev Transmit
Copy the XrevTransmit.exe.config file to the same network location or anywhere you have full privileges to edit it (it requires administrator privileges to edit it in its current location).
Note title Note Alternatively, this can be done via script or using the Windows Run command, For example:
"C:\Program Files\Xrev Transmit\XrevTransmit.exe" DATAFILEPATH="\\SERVER\Xrev Transmit\XrevTransmit.sdf"- Open this file by double clicking on it or simply open it in Notepad or similar text editor (we recommend Notepad++).
- Find the DataFilePath setting (DataFilePath="C:\ProgramData\Xrev Transmit\XrevTransmit.sdf")
- Replace the bit in between the quotation marks with the new network location where you copied the database to.
- Save and close the file.
Copy this config file back to C:\Program Files\Xrev Transmit\XrevTransmit.exe.config and overwrite the original.
Note title Note You may require Administrator privileges to do this.
For all additional installs, before starting Revit or Xrev, just update the config file on each workstation (Repeat Steps 4-9).
Note title Note The XrevTransmit.exe.config file is version specific. During a standard install this file is upgraded. So after each upgrade, be sure to re-copy this file back to your shared location, to prevent overwriting a newer config with an older version. Otherwise, you will receive an error message on load.
