I'm in the process of centralising and rationalising resources such as Libraries and Templates for our office. The strategy I'm in the midst of testing is to put all the resources on the server in folders, named as per those in the Vectorworks application folder, and then replace the folders in the Vectorworks application folder with alias' (shortcuts) to the folders now on the server.
This seems to work okay so far but it's not ideal as we have a number of people who come in with laptops, so when I implement this on their machines they lose all their resources when they're not in the office.
So, in this instance, it would be good if they could toggle between local and networked resources.
I'll post any further suggestions here when I think of them.
