Custom Materials shared between two users

[Mdesignllc]

I have purchased a second license for my design assistant.  The custom materials that I have created under my User log in do not show in my design assistants.  Is there a way to create custom materials that are shared across the platform to all users within the shared license group?

Yes, you create a folder on your server and then you save copies of your collected materials to that folder. The Library Browser for each seat or license is specific to that computer so any arrangements you create are purely manual in nature.

As a starting point you could save ( Export) your User Catalog , and install it on the Assistant's computer,

in the Chief Data Folder > Database Libraries folder

 

C:\Documents\Chief Architect Premier X14 Data\Database Libraries

When you share Files, (.Plan or .Layout) do a File > Backup Entire Plan > Zipfile option Checked  and share the Zipfile,

it will include all the Materials and other related items such as Images, PDFs , if done from Layout it also includes all referenced Plans

so there is no need to do those separately.
