API - Test if the open file is read-only

3D Design Volume Model
1

Hello

I wanted to know if it is possible to do a test on the open document to find out whether or not it is read-only. We have a SW license in our workshop which is read-only and we have "common"  macros with our design office except that I would like in the case of the design office licenses that the file be saved automatically but not from the workshop license. Otherwise, I will do a test with the license number SW.

Thank you in advance.

Hello

Yes as sbadenis indicates, I posted a tutorial on Lynkoa to change the read-only, the exact instruction is:

ReadOnlyState = Part.IsOpenedReadOnly()

The corresponding help page:
