Get Write Access
Get Write Access
(OP)
In Solidworks, when working with a read-Only file, there is a command called "Get write access" which allows you to make the file read-write without closing and reopening.
Is there a function in SE V19 that does the same?

RE: Get Write Access
Has the Solid Edge file status property been changed to anything other than "Available" by another user. If so it will appear as read-only to you.

RE: Get Write Access
What I would like to do it change the read-only status to read-write, after the other engineer is no longer working on the part, without having to re-open the part.
It is something that is very useful feature of SW.
RE: Get Write Access
When the other engineer closes the part you should be able to get write access. I don't tink it's really anything to do with Solid Edge, it's just basic Windows security.
You would get the same message if you both tried to open a Word or Excel document at the same time.
