Local Changes Not Synchronized with Central window when closing Revit

Anonymous — Thu, 10 Nov 2016 18:05:47 GMT

Hi all,

My team is working on Revit 2017.1. They sync regularly to the central file but every time they need to close revit (after synching), the "Local changes not synchronized with Central" keeps showing.

I checked the History and files are correctly saved and synched at the first synch and at the last synch (the one after trying to close)

Is this happening to many others? I believe it's a glitch, but I want to make sure I am not missing something....

Thanks!

Check the current settings in "Synchronize and Modify Settings", and try again.

We're having the same issue on one of our projects, but not all. We've saved over the central, audited, purged and held our breath but have yet to understand what's going on.

Same here

Started on Revit 17.1 just last week (3rd week in Jan)

Continues on Revit 17.2

now for me personally is happening on 2016 on workset enabled project that has no other users.

In both cases

Synchronize and modify settings, check all that can be checked except compact file.
Close file action throws up "Local Changes Not Synchronized with Central" etc.

If I ignore the close file dbox as noted in 2, it does appear that my changes are saved...(simple tests)

Just curious if others are using BIMLink or not. (the only add-in I have been consistently using across projects where this is happening, though today I have not been using just to see, and it does not appear to make a difference.

I have the same issue with old projects that has been upgraded to 2017. Not i projects started in 2017.

Any solutions to this yet?

I had one file that was doing this,

the whole open/detach/audit/saveas/compact routine did not work 2x

then along with some (minor) clearing out of warnings the file was working again.

then two weeks later is went back to the synchronize on close even through it was just synchronized - even if I was the only one that had a local file open.

questions:

1) does your office use any third party (non-autodesk) plugins?

if so - any anomalies with their licensing?

2) how many warnings are in the file

2b) in particular do you have

A) the "over 20 miles" warning typical of a background civil dwg?

B) multiple "line is slightly off axis" - particularly in topo surface subregion sketches?

3) what version license manager are you using?

4) Did this start happening in 17.1 or 17.2? - and which are you using now?

thanks

We are having the same issue with one of our central files among eight of them. Others close just fine. I'd very much like to hear about a solution as well. Thanks.

I have received no better help than "clean up your warnings"

Please look at the questions I posted.

if you can answer these it may help track where this is originating

thanks

Recently I had an error stating "too many elements are missing..." so I reverted back to a previous version of the model with "restore backup" tool and afterwards started having this "local changes..." dialog box problem. Model restored fine but database somehow corrupted causing this error I guess.
