Creating Versions

When you first enable versioning, or whenever you choose to create additional versions via the Version Manager, a dialog for creating versions is displayed.

You must assign a Version Title to each version. This Title is not required to be unique (although in most cases it should be). It is used in messages and reports when comparing versions, and should be something meaningful and explicit (e.g., “Draft #1”, “Final Model”, “Jim’s Modifications”, “January 12”).

The User Name will also appear in difference reports and messages, and is intended to identify the model user who created the version. By default, the Windows user name will appear, although you can edit this.

The Description field can be used to add descriptive text for each new version.

Finally, you must assign a Version number of the form X.yyy (e.g., 1.003). GoldSim ensures that new version numbers are always greater than the previous version number.
