TRV and DRV Files
Traverse PC Desktop for Windows stores your drawings
in a separate file with a DRV extension. If your TRV file is called "job1.trv"
your drawing file will be called "job1.drv"
You will not see the .drv files in your data
directory if your Windows Explorer is set up to hide system files.
To set up your Windows Explorer to display these
files
-
Start Windows Explorer
-
Go to View | Folder Options | View tab
-
Make sure Show all files is enabled
-
Make sure Hide file extensions for known file types
is not enabled
-
Select OK when you have the appropriate settings
If you need to send your Traverse PC file to someone
else with Traverse PC Desktop for Windows and you want them to be able
to access your drawings, you will need to send both the TRV and DRV files.
