We are looking to upgrade our cad worker(s). Currently we have one physical box for a Pro/E worker and one for a Solidworks worker. The workers are desktops that are running XP 64bit. Our assemblies are growing in size and are starting to push the boundaries of these old machines.
Does anybody have their cad workes on a server? Are they virtualized? Did they meet the graphics requirements?
If you have multi-cad, does each worker have it's own cad worker machine? (Right now i haven't been able to find a way to send SW to one queue and Pro/E to a different queue *9.1 M040)
Thanks,
Steve D.
Hello
we only have ProE files in our database. For our CAD worker we have opted for a VMWare server and with WinXP SP3 64bits, not the server version of XP. We have not yet experience stability issues. We are nonetheless rebuilding it to have a second CAD worker on the same machine. We will test next week. I should be able to give you some update on performance improvement by the end of the next week if you want to contact me. Also we will publish to PLT rather than PDF for the 2D drawings
Our models rarely exceed 5 mega.
