Warning message when opening a workshared model using the same username

Request received via Technical Support from our client, М.К.3 ИНЖИНИРИНГ ООО, Russian Federation.

 

Currently it is possible to open a workshared model from different instances signed in with the same username at the same time. As the ownership for elements is assigned to the username, both users have the right to modify these elements from both instances in a different way. When opening the model again, the second user using the same username will get the error message "Your local file is not compatible with the central model".

 

This also could happen when using for example a desktop at the office and afterwards a laptop at home without relinquishing all elements and synchronizing before closing the session on the first instance.

 

Getting a warning message would help to let the user know that he is currently signed in with the same username as already on another instance so that he can make sure to relinquish all elements and synchronize to central on the first instance before editing on the second one. 

 

Thank you!
