Uses of cad desktop

Hi Gurus
Iam confused about the uses of cad desktop.
I think most of the functions like model/part checkin-out, dir creation, matl creation and bom creation are available in the cad interface itself.
So i want to know what are the additional advantages we can get with cad desktop apart from the above.

I want to use my Time Capsule as a central 'hub/hard-drive' in order to keep all my working files in one place. I then plan to use my laptops/desktops as peripheral devices for editing and creation of these files. Is it possible? Create a personal cloud?

Can someone advise as to whether i can do the following:

I am looking to have all my files in one place as i am hopelessly disorganised. I know the online clouds are a good solution (used Dropbox at work and uni for 3 years) however i am wanting to create my own 'dropbox/icloud' at home. So whenever i get back home with my laptop, any work i have been working on whilst out that day is updated to the timecapsule, and then ultimately as i turn on the other devices, they update to those newer versions of the files. Please tell me that the 3TB time capsule i have can do this, otherwise it feels rather overpriced as a wireless storage device?
Another note (to those in the know) If i am to be working on large files (REVIT/SOLIDWORKS/KEYSHOT/CREO/AUTOCAD) - is the timecapsule connection good enough to support editing and updating these files?
I know i may be asking a question that many have before, but as a bit of a technical novice I wanted a clear-cut answer to my specific circumstances. Your help is greatly appreciated.
(*can i use this WD hard-drive that is connected to the Time Capsule as a back up? so that the time machine back-ups/any back ups are also backed up onto this one? can the WD be a backup for the TC?)
Kind Regards
Joe

The diagram was supposed to look more like this......

CAD Desktop - error while checking in and storing...

Hello SAP gurus',
We have one problem regarding the CAD Desktop functionality, and we believe that you could help us!
We are doing some tests with CAD-SAP Integration, and when we try to check in document in CAD Desktop, we receive the following error: "Error while checking in and storing c:\...".
Funny thing is that we can check in originals "manually" in SAP GUI when we open DIR, but when we try to check it in via CAD Desktop it is not possible.
In some previous posts I have seen that "hosts" file should be maintained properly, but what bothers me is that we are not using real content server yet (we are still in a test phase and we are checking in documents directly to SAP database).
Does anybody have some idea what could cause this problem?
Thanks for help guys!
Regards,
Karlo

Hi,
For viewing the CAD files Content sever will support. The exact technical stuff I don't know.But as per the previous experience I am sure that if you install k-pro your purpose will get fulfilled. The content server feathures you can get and may know the reason.
But once you install a separate content server instead of the current storage system, your problem will get resolved.

Customizing the CAD-Desktop

Hello Guru,
I just want to ask you, if it's possible to integrate a button on the CAD-Desktop or at least in the transaction mm02, cl02 ...
Because I'm gone need to call an external program using some kind of server path, but to do this I need some information.
like e.g. I'll need a "classname" to call a certain specific path.
ps. I hope that my explanations are sufficient.

Question to CAD Desktop - Feature Copy and Replace

Hello,
I want two use the feature "copy and replace" in CAD Desktop to copy and replace the document info set with a new one but also change its document info set type.
Is that in general possible, how to customize it?
Kind regards,
Axel Tackenberg

CAD - Desktop Monitoring Console

Hi All,
We are tried to monitor the CAD server using "CAD Desktop Monitoring Console" .
We configured the snmp community "public" & restart the snmp service as mentioned in the CAD installation guide.
I am getting the snmp timeout error while accessing the console.Please help on this.
Thanks in Advance !!!

I also had a look at installation guide for CAD 8.5,
http://www.cisco.com/c/dam/en/us/td/docs/voice_ip_comm/cust_contact/contact_center/cad_enterprise/cadenterprise8_5/installation/guide/cad85cceig.pdf
if you look at page 139, it says how to configure Desktop Monitoring Console and only covers windows SNMP.
but if you take a look at guide for CAD 10.0
http://www.cisco.com/c/dam/en/us/td/docs/voice_ip_comm/cust_contact/contact_center/cad_enterprise/cadenterprise10_0/installation/guide/cad100cceig.pdf
page 148 shows how to configure Desktop monitoring console, and there they have separately mentioned Cisco SNMP configuration.
so lets try to make it work with cisco SNMP. please follow this steps and see if it works.
1) on the both side of CAD server, got to Run and type mmc.exe if you are using 64 bit OS, you have to run mmc.exe /32
a console will pop up with console root
2) go to file --> add/remove snap-in
3)in the snap in click on ADD button and from list of snap ins add Cisco SNMP Agent Management.
once you add successfully, click ok and
now in your console root, you will be able to see Cisco SNMP managemnet agent.
4) explore agent by clicking + sign and under community names right click and go to properties
5) click add new community , under community name give public (case sensitive all small) and select SNMP version as v2c and access rights as read only.
6) go to CAD postinstall.exe and under SNMP configuration, add at least one trap destination.
7) restart Cisco SNMP management service.
open your browser and check if console is working or not. and rate post if helps.

Chintan

CAD Desktop Queries

Hi All,
Currently we are using CAD desktop alongwith DMS. We need to replace a selected component in the document based structure with a new component. We are trying to use the copy and replace option in the CAD view, but the new component selected is not getting loaded.Could anyone let know what else we need to do to get it going?

Hi Lisbeth,
See if the following conditions have been met with:
- In Customizing for CAD Desktop (CA-CAD) you have set the CDESK_REPLACE_COMPONENT (replace component) parameter.
- You are in the CAD view or the CAD worklist.

Concepts Management in CAD DESKTOP

Hi friends,
I have a question concerning NPDI for which I am trying to find solution in SAP. Scenario is:
Initially design team works on 3 concepts in CAD and checks into SAP PLM through CAD Desktop so that reviewer and approver team checks out data from central content server. DIRu2019s were created before check in and say one concept assembly has 10 parts then approx some 20-25 components(assuming some parts in common) have been checked in . This will result in 20-25 DIRu2019s.
One concept is finalized by review/approver team and at this stage; Part numbers are assigned to the assembly and its parts. I will rename the assembly and parts as per the numbers generated from the Number Generation System (External to SAP) and continue with the frozen concept for detail designing.
We have selected only one concept out of 3 and this has resulted in consumption of say some 10-15 DIRu2019s extra DIR numbers which are not been used and are waste now. If this continuous in all new developments, lots of DIR numbers are consumed which are not being used.
Can any solution in SAP address this scenario? I have to check in all concepts so that review team will look into it but I donu2019t want DIR to get generated and I guess this is not possible.
Awaiting for your replies,
Rgds,
Sudharshan

Hello Sudarshan,
Its perfectly okay to create DIR's for all the parts and designs from the 3 different concepts. The key here is that you are saving all the ideas generated in the concept phase and not only the approved idea. This is a good practice as all the hardwork and equally good ideas that made it to review phase are being saved and can be useful for historic purposes or in future if you want to revisit the unapproved ideas and improvise them you still have them safely stored in your DIR. DIR numbers are expendable but not the hardwork and other great ideas (though these didn't make it to final design)
You number range should be in the order of 6-7 digits.

Is there a way to open the mic using apple remote desktop

Is there a way to open the mircophone channel using Apple Remote Desktop so I can listen on anything thats happening at my computer at home? If not is there another software that would work?
Also is there a way to use apple's software to control and watch a PC?

Is there a way to open the mircophone channel using Apple Remote Desktop so I can listen on anything thats happening at my computer at home? If not is there another software that would work?
You would have to launch software that would accept audio from the microphone and transmit it to you in some fashion. ARD does not transmit audio itself. Another remote control solution such as Timbuktu might transmit audio, so you could look into that, perhaps.
Also is there a way to use apple's software to control and watch a PC?
You can install a VNC server on the PC and ARD can then take control of the system. It can be tricky to find a VNC system that will work with ARD, though, so search this forum for "VNC" for possible options. One of the applications that support Microsoft's remote desktop architecture such as their own Remote Desktop Connection Client for Mac or iTap Mobile RDP will probably work better, though.

Using a remote desktop connection with the Macbook pro.

I use the remote desktop connection on the Macbook pro and am unable to exchange info between the mac and the remote connetion windows. For example, if I am writing an email from the remote connection and want to attach a document, photo etc. that I created on the Mac, it just doesn't work. It seems like the Mac and the desktop connection are completely seperated eventhough they are both on the screen in front of me. the systems I use for work are not Apple compatible and will not work on anything other than windows explorer and in my case the remote desk top connection. Any ideas!

Yep. I installed Lion this morning. Open Mail. All is good. Went to video on the Apple's homepage and my whole computer froze up. I couldn't even shut down the computer properly. I just had to shut it off and restart. :|
Although, no "missing plug in" prompts were coming up for me. Just a frozen (brand new) iMac.

I had a similar error which when I searched, came up with this thread.
My issue was resolved after I discovered that my RTF template was not really RTF. It was sill in MS Word DOC format. This was discovered by reviewing two templates in NOTEPAD. The MS-DOC files have a lot of "special" characters in them. My RTF was not really RTF.
After doing a SAVE AS - RTF format, then the preview worked as expected.
