understand the principle. Something just doesn't seem right though. The
checkout should be in the beginning when you first open the file and choose to
edit it and not the end. It always used to work that way when we would get the
reserve message. Now its like I am checking out a book that I just got done
reading. I am just trying to put it back, not check it out. The checkout needs
to be in the beginning so that anyone accessing the file after I do will be
aware that I am editing it. What good is checking out when I am just saving
and then closing the file? Now it sits as checked out on the network but I am
already done with it. To clear the checkout I need to open it and go through
the check in process. Then I try to save and it wants to check it out
again!!!!! Argh. Just trying to clear a checkout causes another one. Its a
piece of garbage this way. The old method worked fine. Now it is screwed
up.

know all about that area and I have checked out the document. I have a hard
copy of it right here. I have read it all. I have been with Inventor since pre
R1 stuff so the whole file reserving process is not new to me. It actually
only is supposed to copy the file to my workspace if I run in semi-isolated
mode. I have it set in shared mode. What I am saying is that it is flawed. An
example would be to open a assembly file and check out several parts. Do a few
changes in the main assembly and then save. You will end up with the parts you
selected and the assembly itself checked out. Close it and re-open it. Now
check the files back in including the assembly. Everything is fine until you
go and save again. It wants to checkout that same assembly that you just
checked in. There isn't a way to check them all in and then just save without
it adding another checkout. In the past I had the option to reserve a file or
not. I was not forced to do so at the save. I am stuck too. I already have
some files in the older versions that are currently flagged reserve. I cannot
clear their status without running multi-user on and running with it on brings
out this new flaw where I keep getting files checked out at save time. I can't
win for losing.

can but our company still does not allow files to be copied to other locations
for editing purposes. They need to stay where they are originally located so
that is why the shared mode needs to be used. Either way the checkout/checkin
process now sucks. Either way I still cannot just do a simple save without
having the checkout applied. So how in the heck do I check in files and save
without it re-applying the checkout? Evidently I have you guys stumped because
you are focusing on whether or not I am running in semi-isolated mode or not.
That doesn't matter. Both modes have the same issue. How do I just save
without applying the stupid checkout? What a piece of junk this new mode
is.

Quit saying it sucks, and learn how to benifit
from it.
