Working with Files

   Previous topic Next topic  

 

The Structural Engineering Library uses a single file to store your project information and all the calculations. This file uses an "ECW " extension to identify it as an EnerCalc for Windows file.

 

To backup an ENERCALC project file simply copy the "ECW" file to the desired backup location.

 

As the Structural Engineering Library advances in capabilities the file formats used will change, but we will always provide conversion programs for your previously saved project files.

 

General Comments

•Each Enercalc project file contains all information on a project. There are no other files you will need to keep track of.

 

•Always remember that the Project Manager is showing you the divisions and calculations for your project....it is NOT showing you a disk directory structure.

 

•There is no "Save" selection on the File menu. After you have selected and edited a calculation, choosing "Ok " save the calculation data bask to the project file.
