Note: This functionality is only available in AutoTURN and AutoTURN Pro.

This function shares the custom vehicle's definition, realistic vehicle drawing, profile drawing, as well as load(s), sight line(s), and tracking points, if applicable, up to the network database so that they are available for all AutoTURN Pro users on the network. If the drawings are not available at the time of sharing, they can be added later by copying them to the network's shared data location (see Customizing AutoTURN Pro -> Creating a Realistic Vehicle Drawing, Customizing AutoTURN Pro -> Creating a Realistic 3D Vehicle, and Customizing AutoTURN Pro -> Creating a Profile Drawing).

Note: This button displays if the custom vehicle has not already been shared. The system clocks of the workstations running AutoTURN Pro and the program files server must match for sharing to be successful.

Share Vehicle Dialog Box

Select the check boxes corresponding to what you want to be available for all AutoTURN Pro users on the network, and then click OK. The drawings and, if selected, the vehicle, load(s), sight line(s), and tracking points are copied to the server.

Note:

• After the vehicle has been shared, the vehicle displays with the Shared graphic in the leftmost column of the vehicle list.
• Any edits performed on a shared vehicle will automatically be reflected in the network copy of the database.

Notes on Drawings when Sharing Custom Vehicles:

1. If a realistic vehicle drawing exists for the custom vehicle when the vehicle is shared, the following occurs:
   • The drawing is backed up to the workstation's ..\Backup\Vehicles\GroupName folder.
   • The drawing is copied to the network's ..\Vehicles\GroupName folder.
   • The original drawing is deleted.
2. If a profile drawing exists for the custom vehicle when the vehicle is shared, the following occurs:
   • The drawing is backed up to the workstation's ..\Backup\Profiles\Templates folder.
   • The drawing is copied to the network's ..\Profiles\Templates folder.
   • The original drawing is deleted.
3. After a drawing has been shared, if updates to the drawing are required, they must be performed on the network copy.
4. When a shared custom vehicle is deleted, any corresponding realistic vehicle and profile drawings on the server will also be deleted. The drawings can be retrieved from the backup folder on the workstation that initially shared the custom vehicle.
