As administrator of Solidworks at my company, I set up aSolidWorks Standards directory and mapped out all templates,tables, formats, etc thru the options settings, then used the copysettings wizard to create a template that could be loaded onto allusers workstations.
I am encountering a problem with the copy settings wizard on bothv2008 and v2009. When attempting to restore the settings to otherusers computers, all corporate settings (format locations, etc.)are copied into the registry except referenced documents searchpaths. I've opened the registry file (sldreg) and the locations arethere, but will not load...

Currently our company does not utilize PDM and all released filesare stored in a network drive that has an extensive amount ofsub-directories. The amount of time it will take to have all theusers map out these drives will be extensive and I will not be ableto ensure consistancy.
Has anyone else experienced this problem, and if so, is there asoultion?

Personal Opinion... Solidworks needs to take a lesson from PTC anduse a text based file (similar to search.pro) that can be easilymodified, reside in a standards directory and accessed thru theoptions button.
There should also be a way for administrators to enforce standardslocations and their usage (Set and then "grey-out" settings such asformats, templates etc.) such a PTC's config.supSolidworksAdministration
