Were you able to resolve your issue? We are having a very strange issue with SolidWorks on our network, with disappearing assemblies, menu reconfiguration, and other "behind the scenes" strangeness from SolidWorks even when testing on models that are all local to the machine. So far, we have not been able to figure out which aspects of the network are causing the issue (server is an Apple X serve running Leopard with the standard (Version 3.0.25b- apple) Samba distribution; we have been told not to try to upgrade it until Apple does due to the Apple hooks in it). Any additional insights are not only welcome, but solicited! Thank you in advance, ssh
