Prompting "Save" for Read Only Docs

[BodyBagger]

I did a search on the forum but no luck.

Is there a setting somewhere so that I can change so SW does not prompt me to save changes on documents that are open as "Read Only"?

Thanks BB

Do you get the prompt when closing the doc's, or is it the timed reminder pop-up in the bottom RH corner?

I think you are looking for Tools\Options\System Options\Exteral References\"Do not prompt to save read-only referenced documents (discard changes)"

I wrote a macro to do this.

'copyright 2007 EsoxRepublic.com
Dim swApp As SldWorks.SldWorks
Dim aModel As SldWorks.ModelDoc2
Dim aErrors As Long
Dim aWarnings As Long
Dim aOpts As Long

Sub main()

Set swApp = Application.SldWorks
Set aModel = swApp.ActiveDoc

If Not aModel Is Nothing Then
    aOpts = swSaveAsOptions_Silent + swSaveAsOptions_SaveReferenced
    aModel.Save3 aOpts, aErrors, aWarnings
End If

Set aModel = Nothing
Set swApp = Nothing

End Sub

Honesty may be the best policy, but insanity is a better defense.

Hi all,
I already have the Tools\Options\System Options\Exteral References\"Do not prompt to save read-only referenced documents (discard changes)" done. I think my issue may be coming from PDM Works Enterprise.
