So Im using Solidworks, with client 3D models.

 

 

 

The client has their templates on a local server that is UNC mapped to something like "\\srv\templates\SHEET FORMATS\SX-A3.slddrt"

 

Obviously on my computer I do not have that drive. I have thousands of files I need to access/update and every time I try to change the templates there is a VERY long pause while Solidworks tries to resolve \\srv\..... it is amking the system almost unusable.

 

 

 

I have all the right templates etc (in a different folder). Is there any way I can fool my system into thinking a folder on my hard drive is that address so it will just resolve quickly and move on?

 

 

 

Otherwise I am going to have a very bad month!

 

 

 

Thanks for any help guys!!

edit hosts for srv 127.0.0.1

 

Will take care of the resolving. But finding the rest of the path becomes.. tricky?.

 

In my head if you then had a windows share at the 'templates' level with the same sub structure it mayyyyy find it?

 

 

 

/edit.. actually. It seems hosts will only do IP resolve. When LMHosts may do UNC resolve :)
