Good Afternoon,I am trying to configure CONNECT so that I can keep the Workspaces on the local drive but to direct the child Worksets to a network drive. That way the standards (and any resource files) are local but the drawings can be accessed by all on the network.
The custom location of the WorkSpaces are here: C:\!msCONNECTconf\WorkSpaces (See Custom Folder in screenshot Workspaces.png)
I can create the WorkSpace for the Local Drive (See screenshot CONNECT_Open 2.png)
Afterwards I can create the WorkSpace for the Y:Drive / network drive and create a WorkSet and even a dgn within it, and everything appears normal in the current session of CONNECT, but once I Close CONNECT and try starting CONNECT, it will crash.This what I have for the "Local C.cfg" file:
_USTN_WORKSPACEROOT = $(_USTN_WORKSPACESROOT)$(_USTN_WORKSPACENAME)/_USTN_WORKSPACESTANDARDS = $(_USTN_WORKSPACEROOT)Standards/_USTN_WORKSETSROOT = C:/PIN/_USTN_WORKSETSDGNWSROOT = $(_USTN_WORKSETSROOT)/
MS_MACRO > $(_USTN_WORKSPACESTANDARDS)Macros/MS_VBASEARCHDIRECTORIES > $(_USTN_WORKSPACESTANDARDS)Macros/_USTN_WORKSPACEDESCR = Workspace used to direct to proper drive
And this is what I have for the "Network Y.cfg" file:
_USTN_WORKSPACEROOT = $(_USTN_WORKSPACESROOT)$(_USTN_WORKSPACENAME)/_USTN_WORKSPACESTANDARDS = $(_USTN_WORKSPACEROOT)Standards/_USTN_WORKSETSROOT = Y:/pin/_USTN_WORKSETSDGNWSROOT = $(_USTN_WORKSETSROOT)/
MS_MACRO > $(_USTN_WORKSPACESTANDARDS)Macros/MS_VBASEARCHDIRECTORIES > $(_USTN_WORKSPACESTANDARDS)Macros/_USTN_WORKSPACEDESCR = Workspace directs to Y drive
Is there some trick I am not aware of when creating a configuration in this way?Thanks for your Help and your time,
is it just the drawings you are concerned about being on a network ? and everything else is local ?

Afternoon Tim,
I was looking to have the entire Workset on the Network Drive.
Peace,
where do you have these configuration files located ? where are they being loaded from ?
ps: are these 2 that are mentioned, the local workspace configurations ? so the user would have 2 workspace choices, the network labeled one and then the local labeled one ?
what files are under the "pin" folder ?
