trying to create a tool library for multiple users...

[red987]

Ok so I called my self searching for this info with no luck... What I am trying to do is create a tool library on our central server that everyone can access, so that we are all using the same tooling information... but alas I am clueless and with my current work load I haven't the time to dig it all out from the beginning. So any help is greatly appreciated.

Copy the files from the UGII_CAM_LIBRARY DIR folder to a network location.
Then in system preferences, redefine UGII_CAM_LIBRARY_DIR to point to your network location.

What you want to do is not a problem as long as you keep all of UGII_CAM_LIBRARY_TOOL_DIR together.
Have you taken the CAM customization class?
If you are not familiar with setting up a customized environment in CAM, please talk to GTAC, so they can walk you through this.

Unless something is broken, which I doubt from Mark's response, it did work the way I described. As Mark said, you have to keep all of the files under your current UGII_CAM_LIBRARY_TOOL_DIR together. Then redefine the setting to point to your copy of the files. The lower level folders are defined from the base UGII_CAM_LIBRARY_TOOL_DIR.
