Link Editor

The Link Editor access level grants access to the Link Editor menu and all functions contained by it.

Import from Exchange table

The format in TMC Studio is different from the former version. Therefore you will not be able to open the database created with TMC Editor in TMC Studio. You have to create a new database from the exported tables as Exchange Format. TMC Studio is able to import from Exchange Format ANSI and UTF-8.

Start TMC Studio

Select 'Import Location Table Exchange Format into new database'

Database file: Double click. Click on folder icon. Input database name and select where the database should be stored. When working with a local Firebird database, it must be stored on a local hard drive.

Source file: Double click. Click on folder and select exchange file if it was delivered as ZIP-File.

Source directory: Double click. Click on folder and select the directory where the DAT-Files from the Export Exchange are stored.

Run semantic checks: Ticking the box results in semantic checks being run after the import of the files.

In order to be able to press the OK button database file, source file and source directory must be defined.

Structure of INI file

TMC Studio will store data in two INI files. One INI file contains data from the application!. This INI file is always located in the directory where the EXE file is installed.

The other INI file is always stored toghether with the database and has the same name as the database. This INI file contains the configurations and setting that you will input into the software menue-tools-options. It is recommended to not manually change this file.

The INI file of the application is delivered with the software. Normally there will be ine INI file per country you have licensed. The structure looks as follows:

[GeoLogix]

ProjectName = TMC Country Y If you have more than one country, this is the name shown in the selection when starting TMC studio.

UserProjectRegistryPath = Country Y Personal settings will be stored under this name.

ErrorSendMode = 2 Should the software crash, you can send us an error message.
