working with dwg reference over a network


Recommended Posts

Posted

I want two users to work on a drawing. I usw dwg reference so each user can se what the other user has done. So I have two files which are loaded as dwg reference inside each other.

 

I thested it on the same pc and it works flawless, whenever someone saves the file a baloon pops up on the other to reload the reference and see the changes.

 

When I try it over the network so that the two users are on a different machine, (the files are stored on a network share on a third machine) and someone saves the file, the baloon notification on the other youser comes after 2-3 minutes. Any ideas why is this happening? and are there any options to se the time that it checks for changes on the reference?

From the help files;

By default, the program checks for changed xrefs every five minutes. You can change the number of minutes between checks by setting the XNOTIFYTIME system registry variable using (setenv "XNOTIFYTIME" "n") where n is a number of minutes between 1 and 10080 (seven days)

That is an interesting tip!
