Unable to wire and send projects over Stone+Wire network after auto_master updated by macOS in Flame

Autodesk Support

Products and versions covered

Issue:

A macOS update overwrites the auto_master file, deleting the /hosts entry. The /hosts entry being removed prevents Flame from sending projects to other Flame workstations on the Stone+Wire network.

Environment:

macOS 11.6 and newer.

Solution:

To avoid this behavior in Flame, follow the guidance in Unable to see other Flame workspaces or projects from macOS Flame. To prevent the operating system from overwriting the /etc/auto_master configuration file in the future, make the file immutable:

sudo chflags schg /etc/auto_master

Note: To revert changes to allow editing of the file, perform the following:

sudo chflags noschg /etc/auto_master
