Hi @JimmyDoe,

 

A little late, but I just saw this thread and wanted to point you to some information about sharing global forms. We work with shared global forms succesfully, by setting the Design Data path to a network drive. This is the only way I know how to do this.

 

The Design Data path is set in one of two places:

 

  • In the Project file, under the Folder Options settings

see this link for Project settings: http://help.autodesk.com/view/INVNTOR/2015/ENU/?gu​id=GUID-B5AD27AB-F932-4F06-80D7-2537B26023D9

 

  • Or in the Application Options > File tab under Design Data

see this link for Application Options settings: http://help.autodesk.com/view/INVNTOR/2015/ENU/?gu​id=GUID-82D5ADF7-7D5A-4C71-AC55-D19AA31ABC37

 

Keep in mind that if your project file has a path set other than 'Default', it will override the Applciation Options setting, so generally you set it on one place or the other, and typically only in the project file if you use multiple project files and they have design data that varies from project to project.

 

I hope this helps.
Best of luck to you in all of your Inventor pursuits,
Curtis
