SHARING VIOLATION ERROR

[vblevin]

I keep getting this message every time I open a family from a project I'm working on to edit it, and then try to "save-as".

The "Sharing Violation" error usually occurs if the file is open in another instance or is locked by another process. Ensure no other Revit sessions or applications are using the file, and try saving it to a different location.

I'm trying to "save as", not "save", and I tried various locations. Same error message.

Try closing the project where the family is used before performing the "Save As" on the family. If the issue persists, restart Revit
