Dwg file lock - NOT
Dwg file lock - NOT
(OP)
I'm having a devil of a time with Autocad's file locking not working. When I open a dwg file, half of the time the file is locked it is not. When it is not, someone else can open the file, make changes and save it while I have it open! Then, when I go to save my changes AutoCAD says it is read only and tough luck! I can see if the file is locked by using AutoCad's SHEETSET. Does anyone else have this issue?





RE: Dwg file lock - NOT
Haven't found a cause, and as a work around, end up doing a save-as, then comparing the two sheets back and forth trying to make sure the current changes from both files end up in the final dwg. Quite time consuming and more than a bit of a headache.
Not much of a work-around, sorry. Have looked into network errors, where it drops connection to one of the stations, write access to folders, etc, just shots in the dark. No idea for the cause.
