The TDM2SE.ini file, found in the Solid Edge Program folder, is used to store the settings selected from the user interface. When you make a change to a parameter in the options form, a new value is saved to the TDM2SE.ini file.
You can the TDM2SE.ini file to set the TDM lock mode as files are checked out of TDM during the migration process. To use lock mode, you must add the LockMode parameter to the TDM2SE.ini file. The following describes how to use the parameter:
|
Parameter |
Description |
|---|---|
|
LockMode=0 |
Translator marks files for check out without locking them. |
|
LockMode=1 |
Translator uses Import/Export lock instead of Checkout. |
|
LockMode=2 |
Translator does not mark the files with Checkout or Import/Export. |
Note:
If you do not add the LockMode parameter the translator acts as if the parameter was added and set to 0.
