File already open on SW 2016

Hello

I would like to use an assembly on the subject I'm working on but it tells me it's already open in another app!!

While the user concerned is me!!

I turned off the PC and restarted several times but nothing helps!!

Have you ever experienced this problem?

What solution did you find ?

Thank you in advance.

Kind regards

Stéphane

 

Hello

The assembly has probably once stuttered, see if in the folder there is a file with a $ in it; If there is one, just delete it and it will be good again.

Hello, thank you for your answer.

I checked but I don't have a file with a $!!

I made a copy of it by renaming it which allows me to work on it but I didn't

managed to delete it!!

I don't work locally but on a server so I can't do exactly everything I want to :)!!

Have a nice day.

Kind regards

Stéphane

Hello

Make a copy of the assembly and tonight overwrite  the original.

may the force be with you.

 

 

Thank you OBI WAN :)!!

Hello
This frequently happens when a solidworks process is improperly closed and locks access to files.
Check the Task Manager process list to see if a SolidWorks process remains even though it is not visible. If so, delete it.

Thank you, I've already done all these manipulations but without success!!

With a copy it works fine but I just can't delete the file that is locked.

In itself, that doesn't stop me from being able to move forward!

Thank you again to all and have a good day.

It is indeed at the server level that you need to act, you have certainly had a network connection cut.

Yes it has already happened to me and usually the next day it's settled.

may the force be with you.
