progeCAD Cloud

progeCAD Cloud allows you to back up your drawings to major cloud services directly from the progeCAD program. The following cloud services are currently supported: Dropbox, Google Drive, and Microsoft OneDrive. You only need to install the corresponding application on your PC for the cloud service you choose, using the appropriate progeCAD commands available in the File menu or on the related toolbar.

How to BACKUP your project on the Cloud (SAVECLOUD Command)

1. Open a drawing you want to backup
2. Run the Backup to Cloud command
3. Select your Cloud service and associated files if such available
4. Carry out the Backup procedure

As a result progeCAD creates a single *.pcloud archive file in the folder on your Cloud. The *.pcloud file contains:

• The DWG file
• All relating to its external references (raster images, xref files, fonts, print files)
• Additional documents if such available

If synchronization is active, the project archive will be uploaded on the Cloud. Otherwise, the *.pcloud archive will be available only on the computer where it has been generated until synchronization is performed.

Note: Once your Cloud synchronization is performed, the project backup becomes available from any computer with your active Cloud account through the Restore from cloud command.

How to RESTORE a drawing from the Cloud (OPENCLOUD Command)
The Restore from cloud command allows to open *.pcloud archives synchronized through your Cloud Account on any PC.

1. Make sure your PC is synchronized with your Cloud Account
2. From progeCAD execute the Restore from Cloud command
3. Select the *.pcloud archive you want to restore
4. Indicate a folder on your PC where to extract the archive
5. As a result the drawing opens automatically

If any modification is made in your DWG drawing, you need to perform the Save to cloud command over again to update your backup. Consequently you need to synchronize the Cloud.
