Not sure if this is a Vault thing or the application that is used to open the file. I know if a .dwg is opened from Vault Explorer that is not checked out, once Autocad gets control, it will prompt "xyz.dwg is currently in use or is read-only. Would you like to open the file read-only?". Only way to avoid this is to check-out the file in VE before its opened.
The checkout prompt is a vault thing. The Read Only prompt is a very annoying AutoCAD thing.
If I can't check it out, don't ask me to check it out. (This is for another ideastation) If the file is read only, don't let me modify it... also, don't consider zoom or pan a modification.
I haven't confirmed it but I agree that an admin shouldn't be able to checkout a Released file. However you should have a separate login for a person who designs and is an admin. You can shift+right-click on Vault or AutoCAD to "Run as different user".
--------------------------------
The AutoCAD Read-only prompt does not display if you use "Open From Vault" inside AutoCAD. I place folders/files in my Vault "shortcuts" and then "Open From Vault" to access them quickly.
We are in the process evaluating this Ideastation Request. However we would like to know some information on the workflows that are involved here.
So far we see the Check Out Prompt in AutoCAD when the File is locked (Either Via Lifecycle or Security or Not having Ownership in Replication) and if the locked File is getting Edited or attached.
Do you have any other workflow which you can share with us?
In this example I am opening a locked file (File is Released) and trying to Edit by adding a circle and Vault throws the Check out Prompt. So this ideastation request is to avoid that prompt.
Is our understanding correct?
If that is correct then the fix that we are planning is to suppress this prompt.
@Josh_Hunt Thanks for your reply and information. We tried the workflows you have mentioned in Inventor, Revit and AutoCAD. But we could see the prompt only in AutoCAD and not in Inventor or Revit. So is there anyway you can create a video showing the workflow in Inventor and Revit? That will be of great help.
@Senthil_Kumar Your testing is correct. I have only been using Vault with AutoCAD for several years so I forgot that this issue doesn't happen with Inventor or Revit. This affects AutoCAD 2014 and Vault 2014. I don't have 2016 setup to test it.
