Help - how to stop opening files in Read-Only Mode in Inventor 2020

[Anonymous]

My company recently upgraded to Inventor 2020.  I accidentally opened a file in read-only mode, but then opened it in standard mode so I can edit it.  However, now whenever I try to open an Inventor file, it automatically tries to open it in read-only mode.  We do not utilize the Vault, so I am not sure what is causing the issue.  I honestly have no use for read-only mode.  Is there a way to set it back to normal, or to disable read-only mode from being the default method of opening my files?  Even if there was a way to disable read-only mode permanently, that would work for me.

Currently running Windows 10, 64 bit.

Autodesk would rather introduce shiny, new things instead of fixing what is wrong that their customers have complained about in current versions and has been wrong for version after version after version. Our company is tired of this, and we're taking our 32 seats of CAD to SolidWorks. It's ridiculous.

Hi Troy,

I am very sorry to hear that. But I don't think the decision of switching is solely due to Inventor Read-Only. If possible, please share the reasonings here so that we can improve further. We are here to help.

Many thanks!
