Read-only drawing

Hello

 

I have a drawing that only opens in read-only mode (so impossible to save),  is  not used by another user. I can save it under a different name.

On the other hand, when I give it the same plan number again, I go back to read-only.

Read-only on the file is unchecked

Closing Solidworks completely doesn't work.

There is no  file with a ~ in the directory

 

Thank you

Hello

By right-clicking on the file in windows, is the reader only box checked?

Otherwise, after a restart of the workstation?

Is it a file on the network?

Hello

If you right-click on it and then properties, is the read-only box checked???

I've had this kind of bug before. I had to close Solidworks completely (and not just the drawing) to be able to rename the file.

Is the drawing not open (presence of a file with a ~ in the directory) because of a bad closing, a crash or something else? If so, delete this file

Hello

Wouldn't you use PDMWorks Workgroup and this file would have the same name as a file in the vault that you don't own?

In PDMWorks Workgroup, I wasn't an owner

Not cool, Mick Cordero gave you the solution and you validated yourself as the best answer...
