Re: Cad deployment in the age of Covid

RDP is great for some things but CAD usage isn't one IMO. There is usually no graphics acceleration so sketching and model manipulation is sluggish. And many of our users have slower internet connections so even most movements just dragging windows around can be sluggish. I use it for working on se...

Re: File Refs in the parent file, opened by full path or just file name?

Since I use multiple versions, I need to be very careful on file reference. After copying all the files to new location, I need to reference them so they don't open in old folder and save new version there. After copying all files, I'll rename the original folder so SW can't find it. Open assemblies...

Re: File Refs in the parent file, opened by full path or just file name?

In any multi-user environment, ALL users NEED to use SAME folder structure.
Same drive letter (local and mapped network drive).
All you need is one user don't follow this rule to have never ending file referencing.
This apply to PDM and not.
Also apply if software remember full path or not.
