Windchill Server Status

In the Windchill Server Status column of the model tree, I have two components that show an icon appearing as a red stop sign with a white exclamation mark in the center.  Hoovering over this icon gives the message: "Locked as Read Only Modified in Session".  I have not done any modifications to these components - so what does this mean?  What can be done to correct this?

I ended up unlocking the part, checking it out, regenerating, saving, and checking back in.  That seemed to fix it!

Lots of things can cause a part to "change". Do you have any relations that would calculate during a regen? Layer change in the top level that you used save status on that changes a parts layer. Top down design or external references.

Likely there is an underlying reason for the "change". I try not the check in items I didn't intend to change unless I can find a reason that I actually did make a change.

For something that worries me, I will check in the assy that uses the part (but not the part that showed modified). Then I will make a new workspace and add that assy to the new workspace and open the assy (or drawing or ??) and verify that everything looks like it should or if there is some discrepancy, I will research further to see what is going on.

Usually these things are benign (layer change/save), but occasonally, you might have inadvertently modified something in creo that doesn't get documented. You or the next user who uses that part may design around and not realize that there was a mistake.
