Question:
How does the performance of my VPN connection affect the usage of Tekla Structures if I use a model stored on the server?

Answer:
As described in the article about autosave, some files are typically autosaved locally to the specified folder on your computer and all other files are saved using your VPN connection directly to the model folder on the server.

The performance of your VPN connection has a great impact on the speed of Tekla Structures, for example, if you are numbering objects, creating drawings, exporting data to files, or creating snapshots. All of these actions create files that are directly stored in the model folder on the server using your VPN connection.
