The Network Location is a folder from which, in addition to the local installation folder, EdgeCAM can access these files:
Code Generators
Category PDIs (added to the list displayed by Custom, Run Executable command)
You set the Network Location to be a shared network folder; in which case:
the Network Location folder itself must be an EdgeCAM installation folder; with the local address of 'C:\Program Files\EdgeCAM' for example.
every user can access Code Generators and PDIs without having to install them on every PC
users will only have read-only rights to network Code Generators and PDIs
there are advantages for version control - everyone is using the same version of a network Code Generator or PDI
To set the Network Location
Select 
from the EdgeCAM program group.
Select the Network Location
option.
You can use a mapped network drive, such as f:\program files\edgecam where f: is the mapped network drive, or universal names, such as \\pc1\ddrive\program files\edgecam.

There should not be a local
and a network code generator that share the same name; as in this case
only the local code generator can be accessed.
