From the above page: "Status: No issue has been identified and the software is behaving as designed."
Why is this the desired workflow for Inventor? Every day I open parts, assemblies, drawings, etc. that I want to look at or make temporary changes that I do NOT want saved. I know these files are read-only. I know these files are not checked out of the vault. If I open a read-only flexible assembly saved in vault and move a piece, it should not create a locally modified saved file that is different from the vault. WHY does Inventor save these changes locally without the files checked out of the vault?
I constantly end up with assemblies littered with "Locally modified" green bubbles on the vault status window as well as changes made to local files that end up causing issues when Inventor shows me things that should not have been saved. This then causes issues in manufacturing when what I'm seeing on my screen does not match the files and drawings that are in the Vault. What is the purpose of having read-only files if Inventor ignores it completely and saves anyway? Even worse than this is when I do see a file is locally modified, if I do a "refresh" on that part or assembly it sometimes doesn't even fix it.
If I have an assembly open with nothing checked out, and I close Inventor and reopen it, I expect things to be reverted completely back to their original state.
