scottsylv Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 I have several users running 2008. 1 person can open a particular drawing and work with it and save it. When he closes out no one else can open the file with write permissions. I have had him rename the file with a save as and still it is locked. Is there something in his AutoCAD settings that is blocking the file from the others? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgehog Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Is it erasing the .dwl file that AutoCAD creates in the drawing directory? (same file name as drawing but with .dwl extension)... this is the drawing lock file to say that it is in use & who by etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LElkins Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Check that the folder in which the drawings are is not set to read-only. in Explorer go to Tools>Folder Options>View> Check Show Hidden Files and Folders. Check with your system administrator that the folder properties are set correctly to allow read/write/modify/etc. and then delete any .dwl and .dwl2 files with corresponding names as the .dwg Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottsylv Posted January 22, 2008 Author Share Posted January 22, 2008 I can't delete the .dwl files are modify the read-only attributes to files in those folders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottsylv Posted January 22, 2008 Author Share Posted January 22, 2008 I'm currently checking with the administrator so that we can have access to delete the files as necessary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReMark Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 bercha85: You have resurrected a thread from over two years ago to basically post the same question you have asked in two brand new posts today. Please stop. It just makes things more confusing. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
