We work with three people on one project. The problem we have: If one of us is generating or updating ortho layouts de files attached to the files were locked. Is this normal? Is there a way to workaround? Can Vault be a solution? And does vault increase the performance of ortho generation? One viewport takes up to half an hour.
Hello Stephan,
Yes, this is normal because the drawing/model is open during the ortho generation. If a dwg-file is open then you will find two other files in the same location with the dwg-file with the extension dwl and dwl2. DWL means drawing locked.
To wait half an hour for an ortho creation is much. The duration depends on the complexity of the drawing, your hardware and your coordinates of the model. Try to move the model to 0,0,0. and not to use high coordinates.
