Folder wont move due to file I can't find

I'm trying to move a folder in vault to a new location.  I get the following message when I try to move it:

 

"Folder 'folder name' cannot be moved due to vault restrictions"

Details>>

Affected Object                        Restriction

1202-320-34-01-00_idw.dwf       File is checked out.

 

Now I understand you cannot move a folder when stuff is checked out.  The problem is I cant find the file listed above.  I've tried searching for file extensions, and even file name.  Does this have something to do with the double file extension?

 

Thanks,

 

Adrian

Try enabling the Show Hidden Files options via Tools Menu->Options-> Check "Show Hidden Files" Box and then try to if you can find the DWF file.

 

Hope that helps.

That did it!  Thanks for the help.  I figured it was a hidden file!

 

Thanks again!

Adrian,


Something to think about would be how the hidden file got into a checked out state so that this doesn't occur in the future. The hidden visualization files are not usually checked out because the Vault should maintain this file. You will see that by checking out the CAD file it represents, the dwf is never checked out automatically. Perhaps it was specifically selected and checked out for some reason.
