Move from PC to Mac - missing teamwork libraries

Anonymous — Wed, 10 Jun 2015 23:38:31 GMT

We're using AC 18 teamwork successfully with all PCs but I'm looking at switching to mac. Just setup a mac in the office and connected to the server. It opens the project but all the teamwork libraries for the project are shown as missing

If I go to 'Manage bimserver libraries' all the missing are there just as I see them on my PCs

I am accessing the server via a web address leading to my static ip address. IE. http://XXXXX.com:6006

It seems like the teamwork libraries are supposed to be cross platform but maybe not?

Any help or guidance is appreciated!

Thanks, Chris

I worked with it more today and while I still don't understand why it didn't link to the libraries (they read (unavailable)) I was able to manual link them using the add button at the top.

I am not 100% sure as I don't use both platforms.
But I believe it is because the Mac and PC use different server\folder\file paths to each other.
Even with teamwork I think? (I don't use that either).

So the libraries will show in the Library Manager (greyed out as unavailable) because their folder path is not recognised.

I assume you would also have trouble with hotlink file paths as well if you use those.
