HowTo: PW Tools

Brian Flaherty

In this post, I’m going to share a ProjectWise customization tool I created to quickly get the Project ID or Project GUID for a selected folder or navigate to a folder by the ProjectID or Project GUID. This is a simple tool but has proven to come in handy for me.

You can download a zip file (PWTools) containing the following two files:

  • PWTools.dll
  • PWTools.mrr

Copy the two files into the following folder:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Bentley\ProjectWise\bin

The next time you launch ProjectWise Explorer, you should see a new “PW Tools” menu item.

pwtoolsmenu

There are four commands available.

The Get commands display a dialog containing the Project ID or Project GUID.

The Goto commands allow you to navigate to a folder based on the Project ID or GUID. Simply enter the ID or GUID and hit Go.

Hopefully, you find this useful.
