Access Denied to Central File

[Anonymous]

Hello all,

Currently we are working on a project and a central file was created on the server.

One of my colleagues is working offline most of the time via synchronisation with the server regulary.

I am responsible for revisioning up the model and I am working via LAN network directly in the office. Yesterday a new revision was created and my colleague is not able to create a local file neither offline through his office remotely nor from the LAN connection(when a cable is plugged) with the server. He is getting error message ''access denied''(see attached picture).

I made some reading for mapping or worksharing but nothing seems to be working. The mapping is for both of us the same, the worksharing is enabled as well.

https://www.cadlinecommunity.co.uk/hc/en-us/articles/201910881-Revit-2015-Unable-to-Create-Local-Fil...

So we are thinking that something is a problem with the offline thing that he is using. Something to note is that for the previous revisions it was working without any issues.

I have created several times new central file but it is not working. His ''create new local'' tick box is grey all the time

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks

Hi,

I had a very similar issue yesterday. I am working on a project together with an architect at the same office with a LAN setup, synchronizing to a central file in our server.

After I upgraded the central file from 2015 to 2016, my colleague also had the "create new local" box greyed out. We did not find a the reason for this and after an hour trying, I ended up creating a local file in my workstation, using his username, then saving it in his local folder. At least he is able to work and synchonize now. 

What version are you using?
