The following command line options are available:
| • | -r <connection name> |
The connection description is the name listed in the Connect To box.
| This will cause SpecView to run up in Remote mode and go online to the connection name specified. |
It can be setup so that SpecView Remote will start automatically when the computer is started.
| Or configure a button on a GDW which will run another copy of SpecView in Remote mode. (By using the button action Run External Program and specifying, for example: C:\SV3\SV3.EXE -r FactoryZone1). In this case the Remote copy of SpecView will start up minimized by default, if this is a problem then see here. |
| • | <file name>.sva |
| This will cause SpecView to run up and go to the Restore dialog with the .sva file specified. |
| • | <file name>.gdw |
| This will cause SpecView to run up and go online to the project in which the GDW is located. |
Launching SpecView by clicking on a .GDW file in Windows Explorer can cause the error:
"You cannot use GDW '<file name goes here>' from this location, press Yes for details on how to resolve this problem."
if there is more than one installation of SpecView on this PC. This is because the Windows Add/Remove programs in the Control Panel can only keep track of one installation.
If there is more than one SpecView installed (either by specifically installing into another folder, or by copying SpecView's installation folder to another location) then it is possible that the GDW which is being clicked on is not in a project sub-folder of the folder where the Windows registry currently believes SpecView is installed.
To find all the locations that SpecView is installed, use the Windows search facility to search for all files named SV3.EXE.
Note: When SpecView is being started by any of these three means, the startup boxes will be displayed but will automatically be actioned by SpecView as it goes through its startup sequence. Therefore it is not necessary to click on these boxes.
