Running Programs off of a network

Afternoon all. I had an issue today where 2 of my programs will no longer load my cad model, and one of them wont open at all. All of our programs are saved onto the company's network. They have spent a lot of money on the network so I know its top end. That being said has anyone ever had trouble saving and running programs off of a network? The 2 programs are rather large and I would rather not have to reprogram 1 or both of them.

  • In service I've seen over 100 cases of programs being corrupted from network issues. It doesn't matter how great your network is it's something you have no control over. A disconnection at the wrong time can ruin a program. This is something you should do at your own risk


    This worries me greatly. I have seen issues myself, and now the company I work for is trying to make CMM operations "idiot proof". I feel a disaster coming. they intend to totally automate all the processes to the point of "all you have to do is put the part on the fixture and hit the button". Of course there are dozens of different parts and fixtures to create. They intend our brand new Global Blue to be run by any and everyone! Oh well, all I can do is write the programs.
