bbuche Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Just wondering how many people run IC over a network or if most people run it locally. I am just trying to do some research if it would help my stability running it locally with my catalogs on my hard drive also. Thanks B- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Twining Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Do you mean run the program locally and have networked .ics and .icd files? If so, this is what I do. Our company does not back up the PC's here, but they back up certian network drives nightly. I got tired of loosing files, so I now just work from the net. Ironcad is local, but catalogs, drawings and scenes are on mapped network drives. The only problem with the system is that when you lose the network connectivity, strange things happen with your file directories (i.e. hitting save will save everything locally, so the next time you try to open your files, they are some older version). Once you figure it all out, and move the local files to the net, any master files will still refrence local external links... you need to be pretty aware of what is going on if you lose the net mid-design.
