Gary- I believe that there was a recent upload to one of the libraries dealing with just this issue. I'm really curious about your wish, though. I tried to start a thread a month or so back, dealing with just that issue; with the advent of reference files, how do people deal with networked environments, as some leave everything on the server, and some use a checkout scheme, which complicates the use of xref's. I was also asking how the various network drawing management systems deal with this, such as 10CAD, AutoEDMS, and Autobase. I got a very paltry response. So, how/why do you work your drawing checkout system? Did you roll your own, or are you using something off the shelf? What advantage do you see over leaving everything on a central file server?
