Thin Clients for PDMS projects.

Hi Folks :joyous:,

We are considering using thin clients for PDMS and E3D projects in our office...has anyone any experience using this client/server model for PDMS?
What can be the drawbacks?

Thanks for your time...

hello

wondering if you went down this path. We are also having to seriously consider this option due to defence security requirements

thanks Wayne

Hi Wayne,

Yes we did...working with Thin clients can be challenging as the Virtual Machines tends to re instantiate every once a week..this wipes out the evars so you will have to reedit your evars if/when that happens.
I wrote a batch macro to restore the correct evars on the individual thin client profiles.

If you are going to use point cloud data your thin client server will need a graphics card.

Working with a stand alone graphics stations is much faster. Let me know how you are faring.

Cheers.
