https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/inventor-forum/assembly-constraints-gone-wild/m-p/5589313#M379907 Blair,<BR /><BR />Thanks for the input. I do keep as much local as possible<BR />like the content center files (inventor still loses track of those). Not too<BR />many Library paths, 2 I think for most projects. Not using vault as this is<BR />a single seat, single user setup. Owner wants all CADD files on server for<BR />security/backup reasons and also takes care of server maintenance (defrags).<BR />I had tried at one point to move all currently active files to my local<BR />machine, then mirror them to the server, but it just confused Inventor<BR />whenever I open a large assembly file, didn't seem to know which file<BR />location to open a file from, local or server. Right now I have 40+ active<BR />project folders (1 per customer) some customers may eventually get multiple<BR />folders depending on future orders. Each customer may have 100-500 parts for<BR />any given order, doesn't include assembly files or drawing files. Most parts<BR />are unique. I'm working with iparts and iassemblies for similar parts and<BR />assemblies. Also trying to get a handle on illogic to drive similar<BR />elements, but I fell I need to resolve this issue before I implement any<BR />automation.<BR /><BR /><BR /><BR />Frank J.
