Red or yellow exclamation point icons ( or ) indicate that a field is required to be filled out or corrected before the file sizes can be accepted by clicking OK. Hover your mouse cursor over the icon to make a tooltip appear with more information.

File name: The types of files whose allocated space can be changed by adjusting the number reported in the New Size column.

Note : The file name Transfer is an output configuration

In Use: The quantity of files of the File Name type in your current Job.

Allocated: The number of files that there is space for in your current Job .

New Size: This column lets you change the quantity allocated in your current Job for files of the type described by File Name. Changing global standards or CNC configurations affects not just your current Job, but also all Jobs that access the data directory used by your current version of this program.

Auto-Resize: This button will resize all fields that are 75% of their in use size compared to the allocated size, or that may have been made invalid by the user.

  • When adjusting file sizes, you do not want to exceed 10% more than the estimated number of members for the project.
  • If this window says that 100 members are In Use and 1,000 have been Allocated, you may not necessarily be able to reduce the New Size down to 100. For example, if the member number [200] has been assigned to a member, you can enter a New Size no smaller than 200.
  • If allocations for global standards or CNC configurations are to be changed, make sure that all workstations have exited all SDS2 programs that share the data directory used by your current version of the SDS2 program you are running.
