With ArchiCAD 16, it is now possible to create a PLN Project Backup. This backup is created
by ArchiCAD and is saved in ArchiCAD's Solo File format, PLN.
Activate the Teamwork... Project... Teamwork Project Settings menu command in ArchiCAD.
This opens the Project Settings Dialog for the current Teamwork Project stored on the
BIM Server.
In the Backups panel, click the Create button and select the PLN Backup option.
Please note that you have to be a Project Administrator, otherwise the Create button
will not be enabled.
In the appearing Dialog, provide a name by which you will identify this manual PLN Project
Backup, then click the Create button to proceed.
The Backup appears in the list of Backups, with its Status set to Create as it needs
to be created after you leave the Dialog.
Click the OK button to accept these changes and leave the Project Settings Dialog. The
Pending PLN Backup Message Box appears notifying you that now you need to Send and Receive
changes in ArchiCAD, then create the manual PLN backup file. Click the Send and Receive
button to proceed.
ArchiCAD creates the PLN backup file during which a message notifies you of the process.
During this time you cannot continue the project design in ArchiCAD.
When the creation of the PLN Backup file is complete, ArchiCAD uploads the file to the
BIM Server to be stored along with all other backup files. The process indicator is visible
on the Status Bar while it is in progress. After it is finished the PLN Backup will be
stored and available among the backups on the BIM Server.
