    Do you work off the server?

    Thank you Hmo and Lorys for your comments. They will be helpful in my discussions with the powers to be here. I believe I will be able to convince the powers that be to start working off the server.

    Do you work off the server?

    What is the better method? I'm working with Microstation J and we save all our files to a server. The standard practice at my company has been to copy to you machine the file you plan to work in and save it back to the server when you are done. All the files being referenced are still on the...
