The Measure Command should not ask me to "Check Out" the part/assembly
The Measure Command should not ask me to "Check Out" the part or assembly that I have opened just to measure it. This is super annoying. See the screencast...
How would that work without following the check-out/read-only process though? There shouldn't be any kind of "direct access" to items in Vault - that's kind of the point of EDMS.
@dgorsman I'm not sure I follow. I don't want the measure command to be an "Edit" function. For example, you can Analyze interferences without having it ask you to check out an assembly. Why not be able to measure it without it asking you?
I'm not too sure why the method I show in the screen cast isn't reproducible on your end. I too have only had it happen occasionally. Sometimes it asks for a check out and sometimes it does not. But really what I'm asking with this idea is that whenever using the measure command, it is never seen as an "editing action" and therefore would never require any "check out" or "save" due to the part/assembly never actually being edited. This may be some sort of glitch happening, but it seems that lots of people have experienced this before.
@Anonymous, I agree with you that the check out dialog should not show when just invoke measure dialog. Is it possible for you to send me the part when you use to reproduce the issue? My email address is River-yijiang.cai@autodesk.com.
@Yijiang.Cai I'm sorry, but I'm not able to provide you with the files. I know that it seems to happen most frequently when having many layers of Levels of Details in my large assemblies. It's like the Measure Command is attempting to open in memory the already open file that may be suppressed in some larger assembly somewhere at some different LOD. I'm sure you guys have some nightmarish LOD example files. Try testing it out on some of those files. Make sure to have every single thing checked into the Vault first and then open one assembly and then another sub-assembly within that first assembly. Check out the assembly and sub-assembly and activate some different LODs. Then try and open a part from the subassembly, do not check it out and measure it. That is essentially what I did in my screencast when I got the bug.
