Suppress Read-Only Message

Suppress Read-Only Message

When after selecting 'No' to 'check out' document, its irritating to then again answer 'yes' to the question 'open document read-only'.  If I select no to checkout, AutoCAD should just open the document read-only with no questions being asked regarding the read-only status.

Clarification: Read-only message does NOT appear when clicking OPEN on the Vault tab in AutoCAD. Read-only message does appear when the user double-clicks a DWG in Vault client.

Please dig this out of Archive and review again.

The alert pops up for every file opened that is not checked out.

There is a drop down to select Open Read Only but I never remember to click it.

Sometimes I only want to review data or copy data from the drawing.

If changes are made and the file is saved, an alert appears that the file is not checked out. The file can then be checked out without losing changes so there is a safety in place.

This Alert is very annoying and to an extent time wasted clicking yes for every document.
