network computer is that on a network computer watched folders need to be shared folders in order for
AutoCAD users to be able to access and search them. To add network shares as watched folders, launch
the Content Explorer Console, which is located in the Windows Start menu under All Programs >
Autodesk > Content Service>Content Service Console. When you choose Add Watched Folder, you’ll
notice that only shared folders are available to select.
After Autodesk Content Service has been installed on one or more network computers, and watched
folders have been configured, you can add these network locations as content sources within Content
Explorer in AutoCAD. In the lower right corner of the Content Explorer window, choose Configure
Settings to display a dialog box with various content sources that you can search and access. Then, in the
lower left corner of the Configure Settings dialog box, choose Add Network Content. Simply specify the
computer name or IP address of the network computer (for example, \\serv1230001, 10.23.58.88).
The network content is easily searchable from the Content Explorer and, thanks to indexing, produces
quick results.
