D4Cost Features & Tech Support

As I stated in my last post, I've recently begun to work in D4Cost. I am primarily focusing on the Advanced Cost Modeling, Average Wizard, Folio Manager, and entering and storing my own data, drawings and pictures. I was happy with the capabilities of D4 and am excited to get more into the Advanced Cost Modeling.

I was having a lot of trouble with being able to see images, drawings, etc. which I had uploaded. I did some research and found that if the Alternate Image Path has not been set then photos and documents will not appear. I am needing to dig more into this in order to figure out exactly what that means.

I also realized that D4 only accepts JPEG(.jpg), Bitmap (.bmp), and "some" TIFF(.tif) - all other formats will show as a blank screen.

The third reason that the Image might not be showing itself would be based off of the location of the document. If the image is not located correctly or has been removed/deleted from the image directory it will not be visible.

If you are working in D4 and would like some trouble shooting tips or Tech Support this can be found at the following link: http://www.d4cost.com/
