All,

Another one of those things that's been bugging me for a long time and I keep ignoring...

Does anyone notice when opening certain files in Windchill that it asks you if you want to check out or continue or make read only and your just browsing? What's up with that? I am assuming that these files have something unresolved about them? Maybe family table related? Also when saving...it asks me if I want to check out, continue or make read only and I have not touched the file. Anybody know what I'm talking about? I generally make them read only and move on.

There is something that wants to regenerate...external references...relations...I can think of any more...right off hand...but I like having a longer list...

We have it set so everything comes in a locked in the workspace and then I check out what I want to change. It eliminates most of these annoying prompts.

Yes. I lock them too. I have at times gone to the files to see what the issues are and I know I was stumped. One that I thought to be the culprit is recalculating mass properties?
