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 user who first uses catalogs in the project should do this correctly in order to avoid unnecessary reconnections when other users open the project.

-
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:
