After configuring the model, you will be prompted for a location in which the local model will be saved. Specify where you want to save the model.
Finally you must extract from all of the libraries. Use the menu item Exchange->Extract All.
Set Generate and Build Options
To set options for generation and build select the menu item "Tools->Generate and Build...". Then select "Build->Generate and Build Options..." and change the options described below.
Build Directories
In this section press "Set Defaults".
Specify the "Source Directory" and "Target Directory" (normally you will just keep the predefined values).
Press "OK" followed by "Apply Defaults"
Find the "Web HTML source" record in the list and press "Edit". In the "Source Directory" specify where you want the generated HTML templates to be placed.
The default value is the Gen folder, but it is recommended to use another folder, e.g. Gen\Html.
System Definitions
WINNT
Select or add the PC you want to use for generation. Press "Properties".
Prebuilt C++ libraries
Must be checked - and the following must be specified:
Libraries
| Library file | Location | |
|---|---|---|
| Mandatory | websyd.lib | Located in the folder <Websydian Install Folder>\development\express20\win. |
| wsexpress.lib | ||
| wininet.lib | Supplied with Visual Studio; no path required. | |
| ws2_32.lib | ||
| Recommended | obpt32.lib | Supplied with Plex; located in the folder <Plex Install Folder>\Class550\PatternLibs. |
Header Directories

Move DLLs to Release Folder
A number of DLLs are necessary to run the DocumentTemplateGenerator functions used in Websydian Express.
These DLLs can be found in "<Websydian Install Folder>\development\express20\win\Release" and must be copied to the release folder.
As you not yet have generated and built any objects the Release folder does not exists. Create the Release folder as a sub-folder to the Gen folder.
