IW 2015 Can't open on a network drive

[neilyj666]

Apparently I can't open an sqlite file on a network drive in 2015 (it works fine in 2014) so what files do I need to copy to my local drive to allow me to access the model in 2015?

Thanks

hi Neil,

you would need to copy the model.splite file and the corresponding model.files folder to your local disc.

Within the current sandbox build it should be possible to store models on network drives. These network drives should be mapped.

Thanks for this - I'll give it a try

sorry, what does "Within the current sandbox build" mean??

How can I work offmy network drive?

Thanks!

hey,

the InfraWorks Rolling Sandbox [beta] is a three weekly beta build to test out new designs, features and functions and any feedback will directly go to the development team. 

WRT the mapped network drive feature, it will most likely in the upcoming release around November.

Although there is a school of thought that would favour keeping the model.splite file and the corresponding model.files folder on your local disc

Not being able to work from a network drive is a big issue with trying to use this program in a production environment. And working in the cloud with large files isn't the solution! Especially for those of us that don't have Infraworks 360.

this looks like this is being fixed in 2015 R3

What's New in Autodesk InfraWorks 360 (2015.3) http://help.autodesk.com/cloudhelp/2015/ENU/InfraWorks-NewInThisRelease/files/GUID-5CD0E45F-B2F7-4A9...

That's good news. Hopefully this will happen on basic Infraworks included with the Suite and not just Infraworks 360.

[neilyj666]

Yes let's hope so....although the link above seems to be all about the 360 version.

[DarrenP]

yea i'm pretty sure this update is only for the 360 version of Infraworks 2015 and not the version that comes with the suite

here is hoping i am wrong
