Anyone know what this means?

The company I work for has just linked all our computers to an internal
network.The guy with the administrator rights has placed all my drawing
folders on the server and are no longer on "my computer". I have noticed
that since he has done this I sometimes get a line in the command line which
reads *warning* multiply owned object.Handle 7494. after performing a quick
save during a drawing session.

Can anyone tell me what this means?

Also since the link up, all my drawing icons have changed. Before I could
have clicked on a drawing file and it would have opened even if AutoCAD was
not already opened. Now I have to have AutoCAD open first.

Any help would be appreciated.

Regards
M.L.

Seems like your "Network Administrator" is questionably qualified. It does not
matter where the drawing files are, AutoCAD should open if you double click the
icon or the file. However try this, hold down the shift key and right click on
a drawing file in windows explorer. A menu will appear with a few options, the
one you want is "open with". Click this option. A dialog box will open with a
list of programs. AutoCAD should be close to the top of the list, if you can't
see it scroll down till you do. Click AutoCAD and then click the option always
use this program for these files. This will re-associate the drawing files with
AutoCAD. Click OK. As for the line <<*warning* multiply owned object.Handle
7494.>> Sorry can't help you there.
