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.

It's basically left to the user to decide what they are planning on changing and what is unexpectedly changed due to whatever. You have to really pay attention when those pop up. I do my best to check out object I plan on changing and then if I get a pop up like that, I make sure I either check it out if I need to modify it or figure out what it is and why it making the request. It's about diligence.
We all know some users who just don't pay attention (or just don't care) and want to check in everything that shows as modified. Uggghhhh....I don't miss the previous place I worked where they had strict controls on Intralink/pdmlink but occasionally I do.
