Creating Journals and Logs

Journals record the actions you performed while creating your design, including file actions, such as closing a design. You must play a journal from a newly opened SpaceClaim application to avoid errors.

SpaceClaim also logs information automatically into the log file, which can be found in one of the following directories:

• C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Roaming\SpaceClaim\Log Files

• C:\Documents and Settings\<User>\Application Data\SpaceClaim\Log Files

You can replay journal files in Cosmetic Replay mode, which skips extraneous cursor movements and shows only a minimum of spin, pan, zoom, and other navigation movements. This allows you to make a journal file and record it as a video without doing as much editing after the video is recorded. Animations are shown for pulls and geometry moves and changes when appropriate.
