Gefdepl.dplcfg is automatically deployed to the viewer's installation Data directory. If a configuration file was in the directory, it will be overwritten.

Note: If the correct configuration does not display in the CIMPLICITY Configuration Editor, click File>Reload on the CIMPLICITY Configuration Editor menu bar.

Create a New Configuration File

You can create a configuration file on a Viewer, the same way you do on a server.

If you do, it is recommended that you only create a stand-alone file for that viewer.

  • Any configuration will not be deployed to any other computer.
  • A stand-alone file will not be overwritten by the deployment server version.
