Opening speed when "$" in virtual folder

Anonymous — Tue, 29 May 2018 15:16:28 GMT

Hello,

I have experimented a very long time to openning files (from iges or imported step) when the virtual folder is mapped with "$" sign is present in the project files parameter (.ipj) and this lag dissaper when this symbol is removed.

Could you please indicate me why this phenome is present, why it dissaper and why when im open an imported files, Inventor need read on the network and why it need to acces a Vault server ?

Thank in advance,

This setting tells Inventor about the mapping between the Project workspace and the Vault folder structure. If you remove it, you are clearing the mappings to the Vault folder structure and Inventor will not be able to know what the Vault file status is and Inventor will tell you that the Project Workspace is not mapped. So if you are using Vault you should not be clearing this setting. It is taking longer because it is checking the workspace in Vault so that the Vault browser in Inventor will indicate the proper Vault status of the file. When you removed the $, Inventor can't check Vault for the status and therefore it will proceed with the process faster.

Thanks for your reply,

Okay, I understand this function.

Unfortunetly, this communiction with the vault server begets lot of wait time.

My office design and my vault server are not in same location.

Could be a source of this lag ?

What is the recommended bandwidth with a vault server ?

What is a recommanded settings for this set-up ?

I work everyday with 5000 parts assemblies, and we are three designers with this setup.

We found that having the Vault server in my office and engineers at a remote office 60 miles away (linked by a very slow DSL modem) was too slow for anything less than Vault Pro with full replication at both sites.

Hi @Anonymous,

Thank you for the information. Correct if you are connecting to the Vault Server that is at a different site this will cause performance issues. You could look into setting up a local AVFS Server to help when working with large files.
