LANs - Wrong Design Appears on Screen
CADCAM Software for All Woven Textiles

Nature of Problem :
When using more than one ScotWeave system on a Local Area Network, the design from one system suddenly appears on the screen of another system.

Solution :
Although this may seem alarming the cause is very simple. ScotWeave stores working files in a special "Temp" folder. If this folder is being shared across the network then the files in the folder are being overwritten by more then one computer. When ScotWeave goes to the temporary folder to reload design information, the information in the file has actually been overwritten by a different computer therefore ScotWeave appears to load back the wrong design information.

The solution is to ensure that the "Temp" folder on each workstation is located on the workstation's own hard disk and is not shared across the network.

Start the ScotWeave Setup program
Select Configure - Disk Drives
In the System Area set the System File Type to Temporary Files
Set the Current Drive Assignment to C: Local Hard Drive

Now save the changed configuration using File - Save menu

Repeat this process for every workstation on the network.
