Does Assembly Vision work over the Internet?
The short answer is yes. Assembly Vision is a windows based application but works over the Internet if your company uses a product like Citrix. Citrix software allows DOS and Windows programs to be run in a World Wide Web environment. It is also used for providing on-site terminals remote access to IT systems and software.
Note: Citrix is not required to run Assembly Vision software. Citrix is a tool for providing remote access to Assembly Vision and other business software. For more information on Citrix visit them at www.citrix.com.
What do I need to get started with the trial?
The Chapters 2 and 4 in the User Manual cover Installation and Setting Up Assembly Vision. The Installation instructions include steps for setting up Assembly Vision on a network. Chapter 4, Setting Up Assembly Vision, explains the steps to follow for planning and creating your database.
My business structure is a little unique. Will Assembly Vision work for me?
Absolutely. Assembly Vision is completely customizable, allowing you to create a database for a single machine or for an organization with multiple physical locations, buildings, departments, production lines or any other type of configuration. The database architecture you create is unique to your company. Each customer builds their database matching how their company organizes their equipment.
What can I do to make my images display more quickly on my older computers?
Check the resolution of the pictures you are using to link to items in your database. Some digital camera default to a very high resolution. Picture files that are between 100K and 350K will produce very good images in Assembly Vision. They will load much faster than images 750K and larger.
Is there a faster way to input all my manufacturer part data into the Assembly Vision database?
Yes. Contact Assembly Vision to discuss the potential of importing your manufacturer part information into the Assembly Vision database.
What is the light yellow row on all the screens that have a grid displayed?
All of the Assembly Vision screens that display a grid view of data have this light yellow row at the top of the grid. This light yellow row is called a filter bar. The filter bar does not store any information. It is used to filter the data in the grid using the criteria you enter in the filter bar. You can filter data using multiple columns. To clear the values in a filter bar cell, press F2 and then press the Delete key.
Can I have Assembly Vision send information to my purchasing system?
Yes. Contact Assembly Vision to discuss the potential of this feature with your system.
When trying to install the software, a message displays saying that I don't have administrator rights and the installation is canceled.
Some companies configure their computers so that only users with administrator rights can install new software on their computers. Contact your IT department or Help Desk requesting the new software to be installed. They will also be able to help you setup a location on your network for storing the shared Assembly Vision database and other files. They can reference the Assembly Vision Installation Instructions document.
I get the message "Error in DataAccessLayer - The .Net Data OLE dB Provider(System.Data.OleDb) requires Microsoft Data Access Components(MDAC) version 2.6 or later."
