Define Projects Path
During the installation, Perspective creates a database with a default path "C:\users\username\AppData\Local\Trimble Perspective DB" on your controller to store and save the projects.
On start-up, Perspective attempts to establish a communication with the database's server and displays the "Database Not Connected" message during this time.
Once the communication is established, the message changes to "Database Not Loaded", and Perspective loads either:
-
The default database (if no change has been done since the installation).
-
Or the last used database (if it has been changed).
Once the database is loaded, Perspective opens the last project used on the database. If no project has been used or Perspective has been closed on the Project Browser no project is loaded.
