Application Options when offline

Application Options when offline

Anonymous

I'm running Inventor 2020.  My Application Options are referencing various files on our network (Design Data, Symbol Library, VBA project, etc.).  If I use Inventor offline, my Application Options are getting reset.  I understand that it can't find the network files, and I'm fine working without them on the rare occasions that I can't access the network...but is there a way to make sure my original Application Options load the next time I start-up on the network?

Set network location in Project.

Set another Project for working offline.

Set Application Option with local file location.

Another option would be to export both versions of your Application Options, and Import from the appropriate XML file depending on where you are.  This is a method we previously used at my company.  @Frederick_Law 's method would not have worked well for us, since we use project files on a per-job basis.

 

We later replaced this with a VBA macro that could switch between Local and Network modes.  This streamlined the process a bit.

 

Due to other changes in our setup, we no longer use either of these.  But they worked reasonably well during the time period when we did use them.

Both good options we can work with.  Thanks!
