saving issue

[hspaulding]

When saving an assembly, often times Creo will ask me “Do I want to save/continue/make read only/etc” parts that have really not been intentionally modified. When I indicate “Make Read Only”, I get the message “[filename] could not be saved to the workspace”. Then if I save a second time, the assembly is saved “[filename] has been saved”.

Is this something we are doing wrong that makes us have to save twice? Some procedure we need to correct? A setting in the config that needs adjusting? Creo 3.0 F000 Windchill 10.2 M22

Thanks in advance,

If you lock the file in Workspace then you'll get a warning about a read-only object being regenerated but the assembly will save the first time. Until I made a habit of locking unchecked out objects in Workspace I would sometimes not notice that the assembly hadn't saved and could lose work.

I got my answer to this.

"The two-step is probably because the first save attempt items are not locked at the time the save is started, so it flags an error when it can't be saved after being locked mid-operation. The second attempt it doesn't bother trying because it sees that it is locked when making the list of items to save; therefore, no error."

BTW, not only did I need an answer to this, but I also thought I would test out the PTC/user vs. PTC Community response times. PTC Community wins this round by about 2 hours.

Yes I am as surpised as anyone. No more negative waves directed to PTC Community from me.

To be fair to PTC/user, Mike Foster also came up with the answer to my problem.
