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.
If only those two programs are having trouble and you're still able to run other programs off of the network, then the culprit would be those programs and not your network?
Do they run fine if you copy them locally?
I've had an occasional program throw a serialization error when something drastic happened, like a power failure during a high-density scan calculation which corrupted the entire program. Which then required a restore from our network backup system. This has largely gone away since I've made all the network programs Read Only.

Only times I've had issues pulling up a program is when IT was messing around in the servers or when the servers crashed. They supposedly spent a lot of money on the network as well. I'd check the network status and see if your connected to the drive you keep your programs on. Don't bother asking for tech help until you restart your PC because that's the first thing, they will ask you to try.
Also, just off chance check to make sure the programs name wasn't changed by someone.
We run off of a network here too, and I've never experienced any issues at all. If someone messes up a program or deletes it or it gets corrupted, I just have IT restore it from backups. The drive they are stored on is backed up daily. Your IT dept should be backing up your programs as well. If they don't, then I HIGHLY recommend that they start. It has saved me so many times!
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 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.

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.
