Shared default.ivb

[Scott_Stubbington]

Hello,
I'm using IV9 SP4, I have a default.ivb to be shared by everyone, however I've noticed I receive write warnings when I edit the macro now it is shared. Is there issues when sharing default.ivb?
Any experience would be helpful with respect to sharing default.ivb.

Thanks

Scott

I don't think you can make any change to the default.ivb and save it while
others are runing IV using that default.ivb
Everyone needs to shutdown the IV before you can edit the default.ivb

I think the behavior is that the first person that accesses the ivb file
will have write access and everyone else will have read-only access. What
I've heard of others doing is making the ivb that your sharing read-only.
The version of the ivb that your working on can be local to your machine and
once you've made and tested any changes you can replace the shared one. I
would guess that no one can be using Inventor and the ivb file when you do
the file replacement.

Brian,
I created a default ivb for each department and posted on the server for
everyone to use. I put a password on the default.ivb to protect the file.
Each time I made some changes, I had to ask everyone to shutdown the IV -
never thought of who accesses to the file first.
I haven't tried the replacement option. I think it'd be a better way to
access the default.ivb - Thank you for the tip.
