hotlinks and link paths on Yosemite

Karl Barker

has anyone else found this to be a bit of a major problem?
Usual setup, central mac server with shared (AFP protocol), access by individual logins and passwords to server.
everything was fine until we got a new computer with Yosemite on it.
Now we find that only one person can use any file, ever.
The reason for this appears to be the way AC18 deals with links to servers in Yosemite.
if user 1 logs in, opens a file with hotlinks and linked drawings things can work okish, however if someone else then open that same file, all the hotlinks are broken and can not be fixed by re-linking them.
here is the link to the knowledge base article.

anyone got any solutions to this?
Cheers,

Have you tried that "dummy user login" solution that article recommends? Didn't it work?
