PDM Check in Problem

PDM Check in Problem

PDM Check in Problem

(OP)
I am trying to check in a drawing and assembly but i keep getting the error of "The file isn't checked out by you, which is required by the operation."  I have the files checked out in my name in pdm and i have no clue why it will not allow me to check-in the files.  

RE: PDM Check in Problem

try retaking ownership of the drawing and assembly. Are you using workgroup or enterprise?

im on enterprise. the only option I get is to check in or to undo check out and I still get the same error when I undo the check out.  

RE: PDM Check in Problem

There may be one part somewhere in the assy that is causing the error. Make sure all are not owned by anyone.

That really shouldn't make a difference Chris. When you checkin the assembly it should ignore that file and will be unchecked.

I got it fixed got fed up with messing around with it. I just saved a local copy on my computer and deleting the files on pdm then restored them on to pdm. just another one of the fine features in solidworks and PDM

RE: PDM Check in Problem

That works.

Colin,
I have had it happen, weird.

Yesterday I had SWExplorer open looking at vault files. When I clicked on part files, assy files would display...and assy files would display parts. Didn't happen when looking at local files. Also weird.
