Path Translation Rules

Table

The table contains the PTR – you only have to fill in the columns you really need: if the network contains, for example, only Windows machines “Linux” and “Mac” remain empty.

Add Row

You can add as many PTRs as required. RealFlow always tries to find a matching rule from the existing PTRs and ignores invalid rules.

Example A

This is the configuration:

• The project is located on a Windows computer on the D:/ drive

• The D:/ drive's network name is “Data”

• The folder is Projects/Dyverso Simulations

Here are all possible PTRs for different operating systems – you only have to use the ones valid for your operating system:

Example B

To access a project on an OS X computer we recommend mounting the Mac volumes as network drives. In Windows you can assign a letter to a network drive and this makes PTRs really easy.

• The project is located on a OS X computer under /Volumes/Data/Projects/Dyverso Simulations

• Let's assume the “Data” drive's network letter is X:/ on Windows.

Here are all possible PTRs for different operating systems – you only have to use the ones valid for your operating system:

Example C

Finally, the Linux route:

• The project is located on a Linux computer under /mnt/Data/Projects/Dyverso Simulations

• On Windows, the “Data” drive is mounted as Y:/
