Reconnect: Working with Catalogs in a Network
Access: The Reconnect File dialog can be accessed in the following ways:
-
It is launched automatically if disconnected files are encountered.
-
It can also be invoked manually from the Cimatron Explorer by right-clicking the appropriate client file and selecting the Reconnect Files option from the submenu.
Additional Cimatron Explorer submenu operations include Ignore and Break, which cause a disconnected link to be ignored or broken respectively.
Note that if the link status of the selected file is either Ignored or Broken, the available submenu options are either Un-ignore and Un-break respectively.
The Network mode is defined as the ability for several users to work with the same project; for example, an Assembly.
The user who first uses catalogs in the project should do this correctly in order to avoid unnecessary reconnections when other users open the project.
There are two methods of correctly using the catalog in the network:
-
Put the catalogs on the network (not on your own computer) and get parts from the catalog using the network path. For example:
\\Pc-buil08-n4h\C\Cimatron\Catalogs
-
If you use your local catalogs, be sure to create a share on the folder that is the first common folder for both the project location and catalog location. For example:
Your project is located on: C:\Cimatron_Documents\Exercise
Your catalog is located on: C:\Cimatron\Catalogs
In this case, the share must be created on C:
