AutoCad Overlay Files Must be Local to Work with LAN Man (99534)






This article was previously published under Q99534

SUMMARY

AutoCad works correctly with LAN Manager if the AutoCad overlay files are on the workstation (that is, they are local). The AutoCad overlay loading procedure somehow does not work with LAN Manager, so the workstation tries to load the overlays off the wrong network drive. For instance, the overlay files are on drive X, but the workstation tries to load from L, then issues an "unable to locate ..." error message. This does not happen if the overlays are local.
