Isodraw template files at a network location

1. Describe your environment: What is your industry? What is your role in your organization? Describe your stakeholders.
Manufacturing


2. What product and version are you currently running?
Isodraw M111

3. Describe the problem you are trying to solve. Please include detailed documentation such as screenshots, images or video.
Have one location for template files. Currently the macro file can be can access via a shortcut saved in the install/macros folder.

 

Storing Macro Files on Shared Network Server
When Arbortext IsoDraw reloads macros, it will include any macros that Windows shortcuts in the \Macros folders point to. This enables you to, for example, store macro files for a workgroup in a shared folder on a network server.

 

I tested it and you can have a shortcut in the templates folder. But when selecting it throws an error and says: This file is corrupted or has been written in an unknown format. Template_02_3.12_x_3.81.idr  So it obviously sees the file.

4. What is the use case for your organization?
We use templates everyday.

5. What business value would your suggestion represent for your organization?
Saving time, by all using the same template. Consistency

Is this fix going to be in Isodraw 7.4?
