Setting up model database areas

When using the Store in database option, which can be set on the Save Model As dialog, models are placed in a general model database area by default. It is possible to set up new model database areas, where models belonging to a specific user or project can be stored. This avoids the issue of running out of disk space when sharing a central storage area. PowerShape can then place models with names matching specific patterns into these database areas.

Alternatively, users can store data locally on individual workstations. This speeds up PowerShape and reduces network traffic.
