Open LDD

Thank you all for your replies:
I'm not here to get on anyone's bad side, all I was after was a general idea of what it would take to accomplish this task.
Obviously some people think it is possible, others think it is not, so it begins to get frustrating when someone shoots you down right at the start and/or tells you that their way is the only way to accomplish something.
I think it would serve us all well to remember that our way is not always the only way.
Thanx - Rob

 

BTW, the profile problem you mention
when running LDD and AutoCAD
is also a problem for us.
This happens with LDD 2000i to 2002
but NOT all time.!!!
Users launch AutoCAD because
they need to open two or three drawings
at a time (as reference) and LDD
will not let them (single document mode).
So, instead of opening many instances of LDD
they prefer to launch one LDD
and one AutoCAD session.
This, somehow, messes the registry

 

Hey Gentlemen;

It has been recently discussed (in the Land Desktop DG) that the issue of
Multiple LDT sessions open at once is a relatively safe methodology (at
least among the respondents). I think I surveyed the group during early or
mid October last year, and the majority of the responses were favorable.
There were a minority who brought up the issue of potential corruption to
alignments in one project. The majority reported this being a non-issue for
them. As in not having experienced it in choosing the policy of multiple LDT
sessions open at once.

In one firm I worked with, it was the daily routine to have three or four
sessions open at once - and that was with LDT 2i. Not once in two years did
we have problems with alignments going belly-up.

Thanx for the replies:
Just to clarify, we install LDD, and Civil Design which also loads Acad Map. The install is done from a Laptop, seperate from our network server.
We run two profiles, one for acad the other for LDD.
Seperate Autocad and LDD profiles are launched from custom icon's on the desktop. The issue is when the user has autocad open, and then opens LDD the LDD settings overwrite the Autocad settings.
It has never been a problem for us to have several sessions open at the same time. "YET"
