is there a way to look over the files live…..

Architime can measure "time of work". But it is for me a strange way to telecommute… Confidence is necessary.. to work at distance.
You can divert this tool, it does not measure quality of work…

I don't use them nor even imagines to use it…
May also you can buy the rule book and "Also included will be a mouse driver for delivering high-voltage shocks to people who do not comply" of Tom Waltz®.

If Architime interest you look at this subjects :
— Project Time Log
— Architime
— Architime won't forget

When I travel to Glasgow I still do work for my office in Detroit, MI... Before I leave I archive whatever Projects I'm currently working on, and take them with me, then I do the work and publish to an online PDF database that is hosted by a third party web hosting company. I'm the only one in my office who does work in ArchiCAD, so my bosses can just look at the PDFs, make notes, and email them back to me so I can make the appropriate changes in ArchiCAD. When they need to print something they can just make a print from Acrobat Reader... it works out pretty well, and I havent come across any major stumbling blocks yet.

cheers,
dan

Apples remote desktop allows you do do this. I think microsoft has a similar product

[Anonymous]

Daniel....interested in that which pdf online database, you or if you can recommend

Group.....if there is a teammate project on a website that everyone work can access...do they sign and save as a draft on their home computes or do they just sign in and work on that server...

in addition...does anyone use nitropdf to do markups in this type of work...

I am networking with my neighbor. When I load a file from his server it takes hours to read his library over the internet. I have the fastest DSL connection, and I have an identical library on my hard drive. How can I get my machine to read the library from my hard drive first?

[Anonymous]

Laurie,

that can be solved by using your library manager and just point to your hard drive....but just curious...what kind of server is it....unix/windows....

[Anonymous]

The server that we are using is an Apple X Serve.

I am able to go to the Library Manager and select my satellite library only AFTER the original 2 hour upload from the remote server.

I would like to set it up so that no matter who has opened the file from the server, my machine will choose my local library first. - Laurie

Make a client file and open it locally. When you sign in you get the option to select a satellite library. If not turn off your connection first and then you can open you file and load your local library. Then reopen your connection.

If you are trying to connect by directly teamwork , I believe that will be a struggle as each send and receive takes a long while (although I havnt tried it for a couple of versions).

Dear John,

Thank you. This seems like it should work. Perhaps we are having difficulties because our libraries do not match exactly.

Originally we were attempting to use teamwork. We gave up on that and are now just using solo projects. The highest level of success has been achieved through mailing zipped .pla files that have been archived with their parts.

I should be able to open files from the server using MY library. Server files always load the library from the server first, even after I work on my files that use my library. We must have different libraries. I'll let you know how this turns out. - Laurie

now I am curious...do you use redline markups when you work like this....or how do you resolve this
