remote management of 3D CAD workstation
remote management of 3D CAD workstation
(OP)
Does anyone have experience with the use of VNC or similar remote management software for accessing 3D CAD workstations?
My problem is that the client machine (the manager) has an integrated video card, and the host machine (3D workstation) has a Quadro card. The 3D models' rotation is so slow and lags so badly that it renders the whole thing useless.
If there is a remote management util that does the 3D math using the host machine (Quadro card) and sends the calculated data to the client machine to only display the results, than a cheap PC could be used as the remote manager computer. Does anyone have similar experience? Any suggestions? TIA

You need two real CAD workstations to do what you seem to intend, basically running the actual CAD application remotely.
Even given that, you will likely be disappointed in the performance because of bandwidth limits in the network connecting the two computers. If you don't have Gigabps-class hardware all the way, you're screwed.

We use go to my PC for doing presentations and buy offs as well as occasionally doing what you are suggesting.
It is not the same as sitting in front of a high end workstation but does a very good job and well worth a look, especially as there is a 30 day free trial.
