hi all, you know when you add a page to a drawing and it goes off to find the page format etc. mine keeps going off to the old server address, so it grinds to halt. Ived searched in settings and with regedit and even searched to whole hard drive. how do i tell sw where the new server is? just thought its not saved in the template is it? cheers mart

Take a look at the sheet properties to see what sheet format is referenced in your drawing. It might be that reference that's taking you somewhere undesirable.

Tools>options>default templates
Tools>options>file locations

I believe the first option is what you need to change.

    Hi Martin,
    References to unavailable servers can take some time before it realizes the server is unreachable. My machine takes roughly 5 seconds to figure out the server is invalid before displaying the dialog. I have seen other cases, perhaps network dependent, where invalid UNC references or HTTP references take up to 30 seconds.
    
    With regard to changing the template reference to a new valid location, I cannot reproduce the problem you describe where it fails to save the change... If I use a drawing template from a server and then RMB-Properties and change the template reference to some other server, it remembers the change when I perform the RMB-Properties again. Likewise, if I reload the drawing, the template references the new location.
    
    What version of SolidWorks are you using? Can you reproduce the problem if you create a new drawing and then change the template reference to another server location?
    
    Best Regards,
    John
