We too use a shared network drive for a co logo on schematics, its a bit crap, but works (sort of, lets hope DXP makes a better job of it.)
Anyway I've found the ability for more than one machine to successfully read the file at once depends on the NOS you are using and how the file is attributed. It seems to behave differently on different OS's with different attributes, but I've never spent too much time finding a pattern (but found samba works better than windows 2000) It seems that Protel 99SE uses the wrong function call to open the file, it seems to lock it when the .ddb is open even though the file is read only. (The correct operation would be to open-read-cache-close it as more than one machine needs access to it) Jason. -----Original Message----- From: Brad Velander [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 13 June 2002 16:49 To: 'Protel EDA Forum' Subject: Re: [PEDA] graphic logo on schem Dennis, are all of your computers similarly mapped for drives across the network (i.e. E: drive is the same across all machines)? I seem to recall this is the issue from prior discussions. In our case I have the logo in the same DDB that contains our libraries. This library DDB is located on our network and the whole eng dept is mapped to these network drives the same exact manner. Sincerely, Brad Velander. Lead PCB Designer Norsat International Inc.
