Working with Files & Data

00:03

working with data files and info drainage is very easy.

00:07

You can access files from your Windows file explorer

00:09

application or open them directly within info drainage.

00:14

These videos can either be watched in consecutive order individually or in groups.

00:21

If you view them in consecutive order,

00:23

save the info drainage dot I D D X.

00:26

File at the end of each exercise and it will provide the starting point

00:30

for the next exercise.

00:33

If you watch them individually then open the file shown in

00:36

the title bar at the top of the info drainage interface.

00:40

The dot I did X. Files can be found in the data folder.

00:45

This folder also contains a variety of other file types

00:48

including Autocad and Excel

00:51

which will be imported into info drainage throughout the exercises

00:56

info drainage is very flexible

00:58

in that it works with many different file types

01:00

that you will find in mainstream civil engineering software.

01:05

These specific files are the ones you will work with

01:07

as you follow along with the video tutorials performing the exercises

01:13

as you are working with the exercise files,

01:15

you can save your work under the save work here folder.

01:19

Note that you may have a different version of the software

01:22

so your interface may appear slightly different from what you see in the videos.

01:28

Also be aware that some of the exercises require the full version of the

01:32

software and may not be accessible if

01:35

you are using the standard or essentials version
