Working with modules on USB

Anonymous — Tue, 19 Apr 2016 07:06:13 GMT

Hi, I have a problem with modules. I have a library on a USB stick that contains modules. When I clone this USB stick so I can work at home with the same modules, it can't find the modules. I know I could use a BIMserver but somehow I can't seem to access it from my home. I would rather take along my modules on an USB stick and plug it in at home. This would also work if internet fails.

Is there a solution to this?

I hope someone can help.

Thanks!

Is the network path for this cloned USB exactly the same as the original?
The path will need to be exactly the same on your work and home machines.

I have also moved this post to the 'Working in Archicad' section of the forum.

Hi Barry, Thanks for the reply. The USB is plugged directly in my mac. I can plug the usb in my home computer and it also works there. I found out that the path in the hotlink manager is /library/... and when I use the other usb (cloned) it showes /volumes/library/... After some searching on the internet it probably has to do with the ID number of the usb sticks. So I'm going to try and change that number somehow... Anyway, I hope that one day we can choose for relative paths!! (a wish that was made almost 9 years ago according to the forum here).

Regards,
