I don’t believe you can disable the menu action in CAD, we tried hard to do that because we want all revisions be controlled by the Change Process. However I am pretty sure you can prevent the action from being successful using access control rules. That is what we did, but it has been a while and it will take some research for me to remember how we accomplished that. Let me know if you need that and I will get you some answers.

Hi,

I do not see why it is complicated to prevent users to be perform a Revise and Check Out thanks to the Access Control.

I agree you can't change the menu, you can set the default value though.

For Access Permissions, simply do not allow Revise for EPMDoc for the Release state for that role/usergroup.

When user try to Revise they will get an error message.

This make me think that of a new idea.  Link Creo Menu to ACL, so if user is not allowed to Revise, then the option is not provided in the menu...

You can change the default in the dialog you have shown to "continue" via the config.pro option

dm_checkout_on_the_fly continue

It doesn't disable the checkout and revise now, but it helps to reduce the unintentional revise of objects.

Regards,

DN
