Workgroup Search Path issue

rh8mpo — Fri, 25 Nov 2016 12:48:10 GMT

We have multiple CAD stations connected to a server and use the Workgroup Search paths to load up common parts in assemblies.

However, we have 1 PC where this system is not automatically loading up the paths - it generally navigates to the correct folder, but then prompts the user to select the file.

Any suggestions for resolving this issue?

Has that PC definitely got the right project file enabled/ticked? Can you copy the project file from one PC that works and overwrite it on the one that doesn't?

Do al CAD stations use the same project file?

If not. It might have something to do with the Using Unique File Name setting.

Thank-you for the responses - we've tracked down the issue to some corrupted files on the affected PC, which is why Inventor picked-up the right location for the file, but didn't automatically load it.

Once those corrupted files had been overwritten with a good version the issue was resolved.
