When network your performance is slow, the raceway placement tools can be hard to use (it takes long time to place raceway). The Raceway library is part of electrical dataset (elecdatasetncsus) and is locked for editing by users and administrators, so it doesn’t make any difference security wise if it is located on the network with the rest of electrical dataset, or if it resides on the local machine.
If raceway library resides on local machine, it will significantly improve performance of raceway placement tools in the event that company’s network performance is not efficient.
The following exercise shows how to redirect network based raceway library to a local c drive on a windows 7 install. (For Windows XP you will need to adjust the local folder locations)
[Settings] LocalCache=1 LocalCacheFolder= C:\ProgramData\Bentley\MicroStation V8i (SELECTseries)\WorkSpace\TriForma\elecdatasetncsus\Raceway_Cache LocalCacheVersion= US_3.12
Warning This process has to be repeated on each user machine and for each project that uses network based dataset!
