Synchronizing network share paths across platforms

Porter Fuqua — Fri, 08 Apr 2011 22:32:03 GMT

From the Cross Platform page of ArchiCADWiki

If you plan to work from both Macs and PCs on the same projects, make sure that all external content is placed on a network drive that both platforms can access with the same path.

We store all of our projects and custom library parts on our file server which is a Windows SBS 2003.

From Windows the files are Z:\Projects\ProjectName where Z: is the network share for the "Data" share on our file server.

From Mac the same files /Volumes/Data/Projects/ProjectName where Data is the name of the same network share on the files erver.

I understand that they need to be the same, but how do I reconcile this difference in paths? Is it something that needs to happen in the OS or is it the way files/libraries are loaded within ArchiCAD?

I think that I am close with this: \\wfserver\data\projects\projectname but I am not sure how to make it work.

Thanks,
