I am using SW2019 SP5 with 2019 PDM Standard.

In setting up our new PDM Standard Vault I have moved all of the SolidWorks configuration type files - such as templates, sheet formats, lists, tables, favorites db; most everything that system options / file locations points to - into a vault folder structure and set the cache option to refresh for all user groups. In SolidWorks System Options/File Locations I have set the paths to the associated vault view folder. This folder structure is non-revision managed.

My questions are:

• What folder permissions, if any, do I need to set for these folders? If a group can't Read File Contents, does this prevent SW from accessing its templates?
• Concerning a favorites database file, if a user adds a favorite from within SW I assume the db file must get checked in otherwise the next cache refresh cycle will overwrite it?
• Other considerations / pitfalls I should be aware of? With our WPDM setup, this entire folder structure resided on a shared network drive.

Thanks,

Daen
