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?
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.
