Hi All, As per subject line looking for info. Have client looking to setup about 10 users running AutoCAD with all CAD files being stored and edited on local Linux/Samba server. Not much luck in finding anything of detail from numerous Google searches. File locking is of course an issue with multiple users. Client workstations running WinXP Pro and using a mix of AutoCAD versions 2000, 2003 and 2004. Would appreciate feedback, URLs to documents etc. that will be of use in determining the issues. Cheers!

We've been using this for quite a while with AutoCAD 2000i and 2002. The only problem we ever had was one workstation did not unlock files after finishing with them, but that turned out to be a network issue -- there was serious packet loss on that system's connection.
