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.

  • This is 100% why we save "Masters" to the network. open pcd, save to local, run program from local save data to local then COPY to network, verify copy is complete delete local. if network goes down we are still running parts.


    You dont need cad to run your program. Actually your program will faster without it. And if you have a program using large cad file sizes it may not load. I have had that a few times.

    Try creating a new program and load the cad then go to Cad levels and put the levels you don't need on a separate level and than delete it from cad. Save the program and cad. Than delete the cad for your program and then import the new .CAD save it as another name and see if you can open and close that without any issues
