It would be very helpful if the dialog box that notifies you that a different LOD is being accessed in another file would give you an indication of what file needs to be closed.
Even better, stop checking the other file status. IREALLY DO NOT CARE WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THE OHTER FILES, ESPECIALLY WHAT IS SUPPRESSED OR UNSUPRESSED IN THEM.
See the attached dialog box. It should tell you which file is stopping me from moving forward.
Yeah, That's the Inventor equivalent of the old "PC load letter". Having to close out of all of your open files just to make a change is very frustrating. Agreed LOD's need to be more user friendly and better explained in the help.
I never could understand why this happens... so sporadically, or how the drawing file is being accessed / updated when I'm not anywhere near the environment! Sometimes I can edit away for half an hour (with the drawing open on a different tab) and never see this error, but other times it pops up after one simple change to my model. An Level of Detail overhaul would be nice, if not just to solve the problem of having things attempt to update in the background instead of waiting their turn!
Lost time due to LOD message. I am working on some upper level assemblies and get the message about LOD being accessed, forcing me to to close my drawing or assembly to complete a change.
I would estamate this lost time at at lest 30 to 40 minutes a day. At 200 working days a year. Where do I submit my these hours to to get my refund from AutoDesk?
We are talking about 100+ hours per year per user. I will leave the dollar value per hour up to you...
This is infuriating! I know there may be a valid reason that the program works this way but from a users standpoint it is incredibly frustrating! In the old days you used to have to get out of your truck and lock your wheels to switch to 4 wheel drive, and there was a valid reason for this but it sucked. So some engineer figured out a way to make push button 4 wheel drive. Inventor needs push button 4 wheel drive. Sorry for the rant, I usually try not to in this forum as I feel it's a valuable resource and gets results. I'm just tired of getting out of the truck 10 times a day. Thanks for listening.
