Check Out And Release

[Acip79]

Hi there,

I am working in project sharing environment. And this happened, When i wanted to edit the element (in this case it is one of my viewport), the warning pop up saying the element are checked out by another user which is my name. I know it sounds odd but this is happening to me. Can anyone help me on this?

Thanks.

Hi

I guess you have had a crash and some items was checked out, or you have been connected with another computer without releasing the file.

You could go to "tools/custom release" to release other users like the other you.

 

Hope this helps

Hi Hans,

That works just fine. Thanks.

Following the same topic, what should i do if the administrator released all the item checked out by me using the "custom release" command? What happened is i cannot commit any changes that i have made to project file. A message just popped up mentioning i need to contact my administrator. Even he doesn't know what to do.😬

End up we create a new project file.😅

Thanks,

If you have a working file with some valuable info that you for some reason can't commit to the project file we usually "save a copy as" a regular VWX file, then open the project file to create a new working file and copy the missing parts over.
