After many problems, with our setup, Richard from NTcadcam came and set up our system correctly for a shared environment. Well the results are amazing! A particular large assembly (1000 parts), used to take 50mins or more to check in but now, the same assembly, takes 20seconds! I have taken snapshots of all the vault and client settings, as well as the sw settings, for future reference. As many of you know I say what I mean, even if it is just to complain, lol Sooooo here for a change, is a great thank you, to Richard for setting our system up. BTW there is a big difference between the pdf downloads and our setup, in that to update to a new release or a service pack, it is much more easier to do. Be warned the icons do not always correspond to the popup tooltips and is a know bug!
