For M and P I would also suggest not checking out worksets. Only element
borrow. Jay is not suggesting "no worksets" just do not check out the
workset. You will run into major problems with HVAC layouts. If you do your
users will constantly have to relinquish and save to central. By element
borrowing you will avoid this. Just make sure to assign work to users say by
area or floor. This will save you many headaches. I'm electrical and we use
worksets. We break them up by system and floor...1st floor power. Then we
just work. If you are placing objects just make sure that the workset you
want the components placed on is selected in the workset tool ((Not
Editable) power_1). Note: there are certain commands that require that the
workset be editable. In that case I will check out the appropriate workset
do the function, check the workset back in and save to central.

I believe NOT creating a workset may cause more problem with work sharing
(hitting each others) I don't know if you guys have a chance to see Martin
Schmid class at this years AU, that lecture explain to you whole concept of
system, workset, worksharing and why we're keep hitting each other.
In order to keeping smooth workflow, the system has to be controled. if you
dont care to begin with, whole system become unmanagable.
I personally do not believe saying "Autodesk suggest not to use workset." no
offence jayspot, yet the workset concept is one of the reason why we're
using RME.
