Our company is looking to expand to multiple CAD stations within
the next 2 years. The end requirement will be for 5-8 stations
running AutoCAD, producing mainly 2-D drawings for use in a
manufacturing environment. I would appreciate hearing from others
who have a similar set-up.
Of particular interest are comments on the usefulness of networking
multiple AutoCAD stations. What problems have people encountered
with networking? Why did you go to a network, and has it produced
the expected results? If you decided not to network, why? What
type(s) of networks work well with AutoCAD (and which DON'T work)?
What advantage do stand-alone stations offer?
Also, is there any validity to the rumor that Release 10 will be the
last version of AutoCAD for the DOS environment? Is UNIX (or some
other OS) the future of AutoCAD……??
Thanks for your comments! -HK-

Heather:
We are an authorized AutoCAD dealer in Illinois. We currently have several
customers running multiple CAD station networks with interfaces to machine
tools (using IMAGE CNC programming). Our Network of choice is ArcNet running
under the Novell software. (Novell I believe is the only Network company on
Compuserve.)
The ins and outs of Networks in Manufacturing environments are too complex to
go into here. Please give me a call at my office:
