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.

  • I've been running programs from the network for over 15 years and have no issues until the network goes down.... Load time here is slightly slower than running from the hard drive but anything significant

    Another option to using programs on a network is to use Inspect 5.0 with the Measure option - Use temporary routines when executing. (Copies your routine and any related files with the same name but with a different extension to a temporary folder for execution. This option is recommended when routines are located on a server, or when you want to keep the original routine untouched.)

    My biggest complaint with using Inspect (we run it on 17 CMMs) is the time it takes to execute the DEMON each time that you execute the program. I used to use ReMeasure but one of programmers here was told by a Hexagon AE that we were not to use ReMeasure as it may not recall the program last used (not sure what BS this is). I wish Inspect had an option like MulitExecute
