I'm working in an environment where we have two servers. One in northern ca and one in southern ca.
The design resources folders are synchronized between these two servers.
\\xxxxx-xxxx\shared_data_south\Installation\Design\Design Resource
\\yyyyyyyy\Design Resources
however, if we access the rasters from the north server when we are down south, or vice versa, it's very slow.
I was wondering if there was an environmental variable I could set or a way to reference the rasters. perhaps just setting a search path within autocad, so that the same design files when opened up north would utilize the image files from the north server, but when opened from the south office, it would use the south server.
Is there any "relative reference" or environmental variable that we could configure to make sure we're not accessing data from the far away server when we have it much more speedily accessible on our local synched server?
