Inventor 2013
Vault Basic 2013
windows 7 ultimate
Hi we are using a system of 3 pc's using inventor and vault. 2 pc's are in one office up north and 1 pc is in another office down south. They are connected through a vpn. The vault is stored on one of the pc's up north.
Checking out items to the south office from the Vault in the north office is not a huge problem it takes a minute or so depending on the size of the assmebley. The main issue comes when i try to access the content cente custom libraries for the frame generator across offices. This can take up to 4 - 5 hours to open and freezes inventor in the process! which is pretty unworkable.
Also when i work on a vault project assembley in the south office , it can take a few seconds between clicking an item and it selecting which can be a little annoying especially when this is happening for each click., but i am putting this down to the vpn connection.
This system was recomended by a autodesk reseller who we still recieve inventor support for, unfortunitly they will not deal with this issue.
Thanks Graham
Hello Graham and welcome,
I have two suggestions. First would be to list all of the hardware involved in this setup, including how the communication between sites is setup. The second would be that this may better be handled in the Vault forum, as it almost sounds like the issue stems from vault communications, and not Inventor itself. Does that sound right? If so I can have this post moved to the Vault forum.
