Problems w/ library parts not loading in layout book!!

[Anonymous]

We are using a teamwork file .plp to load viewsets into the layout book. I go through and add a few drawings and then someone else goes in to add drawings and after they import the views none of the library parts load. Whats the deal. Does the layoutbook defaultly (not really a word, but you get idea) look for the library parts on my computer to load, or BG ArchiCAD rather. It seems kind of stupid if that is the case. What can i do to get these library parts to load correctly and still allow anyone working on the project to open the file on their computer even though it is located on our server. Everyone should be able to import view sets into the layout book. It doesn't make any sense. Please help!!!!!!

i agree that this needs sorting out once and for all, but i must admit to it not having caused me a problem for some time now . . .

I read your previous post and tried that and it didn't seem to work. Am I doing something wrong. I tried putting the library in the ArchiCAD application folder. Still didn't work. Would it be better to have all libraries on the server, that way they are all bein loaded from one spot.

for further information about library loading. you may find something that helps, or a working method that could be adopted to your needs.
