Longer File Opening and Batch Printing Times with Connect Products on a Network drive

Is anyone still experiencing longer than expected file opening and batch printing (via print Organizer) times using any of the Connect products with the Configuration environment and project files being stored on a network environment?  

Both our workspace (configuration) environment and the project files exist on the same NAS storage device and organized on separate drive letters.  I have even gone as far as placing the workspace/configuration environment locally on a device and the project files being the only files stored on NAS storage.  The results are similar if not the same.

Is anyone else experiencing these similar issues?

MS Connect:10.15.02.11

OpenRoads Connect:10.09.00.91

Thanks

  • I have even gone as far as placing the workspace/configuration environment locally on a device and the project files being the only files stored on NAS storage.

    Are all of the .dgnlib, .rsc, and other resource files used in your workspace/configuration installed locally?

    Every time you open a different dgn file these resource files are reloaded, causing the significant delay.

    In our tests with people working remotely over a VPN connection copying the entire workspace/configuration locally, and leaving the dgn files on the network, greatly improves performance. This is particularly true with OpenRoads as there are usually many more dgnlibs and other resource files being loaded.
