Solidworks and Netware 5.1
Solidworks and Netware 5.1
(OP)
I am having a performance issue with Solidworks 2001 patched to the latest and storeing files on a Novell Netware 5.1 (Sp3) Server.... When I try to access a drawing from the Server it takes about 3 to 5 minutes to open and if I open the same file from the local Disk drive (C:) it takes about 10 to 18 seconds..... this only happens in
Solidworks.... I can not find a answer anywhere....
Thanks;

There isn't a lot that can be done, because usually it's the Network causing the slow down.
Think of it like a highway. The highway is the network and your house is you local harddrive and your car is the model. It's faster and easier to work on your car at home then it is on the highway.
I hope that helps,

This brings up a new Question for you. How big are the file or files you plan to working on?
You can't tell me that the file or files you plan to work on is 12-15 GB of large. I have worked on some very big files while using SW, and I have never had anything over 100 MB. As far as I can remember.
As for your team to access the same "data/links" you will find that 2 people cannot open the same file without one being Read-Only. Also if someone opens an Assembly and someone else opens a part of that assembly, they will only be able to open the part as a Read-Only. Same thing happens in Drawings as well.
