Abstract
A dynamic data synchronization network is provided wherein a plurality of workstations 11 are coupled to a common server 13 using a network 15. The workstations are capable of generating data such as a design model or portions of a design model. The server 13 stores a master of the design model and provides a copy to the workstations 11 for review and update. The input from the workstations to the server is controlled by access locking to permit only selective access to the master copy at the server to thereby keep synchronization. That access can be on the basis of objects in the data of the server. The present application is directed to the method of enrolling the clients.
