Lee,
 
I believe if you find your .ini file (ffm.ini, amill.ini, etc.) there are headings as follows:
 
[InchMaterialLibrary]
ListFile=D:\SM11\MILL\JOSDEF\PRTMAT_I.LST
 
[MetricMaterialLibrary]
ListFile=D:\SM11\MILL\JOSDEF\PRTMAT_M.LST
 
In each of the .lst files, there's a section as follows:
 
lib_config = 0
[
    data_dir = "D:\\SM11\\MILL\\MATLIB\\"
    lib_name = "Milling Material Library"
]
I believe if you point the data_dir to the material file you want to share, it should work. Don't quote me, though.
 
Dave

I would like our three workstations that use smartcam to use the same martial librarian data. Question: Is it possible to have the library save to a network drive?

 I can change the path that the job information area in smartcam looks for the data but I don't know if\how you can change the location of the librarian data, or is there a simpler way of achieving the same results. I could copy the mtrl files to the network but every time a user makes an edit you would have to recopy the changes.
