My office is upgrading servers, increased space and added security. I've been told that because of the way Revit works, and manages, its central file, that all projects will need to be opened, detached from central, and then resaved as a central file. This is because the file path is directly linked the server, "\\file-1", instead of the name of the drive, "(A:)" for example. Because of this, once the update occurs, because of the way it's pathed, users will actually be opening the central model, and not a local. So to prohibit this, we are assigning project leaders to manually recreate their central, and then also "reload from" all links, because they too will be linking to an out of date file path. I was told it's embedded in the binary file. Where is this file saved? And can we just edit the file itself? It's literally changing the number 1 to a number 3. I'm not entirely sure what to search, but this seems unnecessarily complex. We can't be the first firm to change servers. If this is posted in the wrong forum, apologies. Let me know if it's unclear what I'm getting at. Thank you much.
