On Win, the path is similar to this: \\Server\ShareFolder\path\to\source. On Mac, the path is similar to this: /Volumes/ShareFolder/path/to/source. Ĭould you please elaborate on what you need to change per-project?Ī file that has references does not store the protocol used to connect to the share or NAS device. The file stores the path. Vectorworks 2019 is fine if all Project Sharing master files are changed from AFP to SMB, but this has to be done manually on a per-project basis, and we have hundreds of projects. Am I always going to face file access issues between OSX and Windows? 😞 Is it possible to update all VW2018 & 2019 projects at once via a utility app? Has anyone any experience of a similar environment/project? I’m concerned about how projects reference materials, in-document links to other file locations, etc, if AFP were turned off one morning! The only outstanding (application-independent) issue encountered so far is when a (Mac/Win) user has a file open, a computer running the other operating system does not see/respect the open file lock and allows the same file to be opened/modified - resulting in app crashes and sometimes file corruption… I am planning a project to simplify a mixed Windows 10 & Mac Mojave office environment by switching off AFP so that only SMB is used to connect to our NAS.
