Locked file

Unread post by CAD_73 »

I have a file that seems to be locked. I have a green border :?
When trying to change something, it says file is locked. I think something went wrong after making a connection with an Excel file.

Hello,

In the folders' file, search files with this extension: .lck and remove. This lock files appear when you have open files and if TopSolid has a problem like a crash.

Thanks again JuP, you helped me a lot. I set “Show hidden files and folders” I found the .lck files.
You saved me a lot of work :D

Normally the green border has nothing to do with the file being locked. This is because you are in sketch mode. Finish the sketch and the border is gone.

Why it was there in your case is a little puzzle to me.....

I suppose it was a blue border. Blue is for locked files or read only files, if a drawing is being used by someone else.
Green borders appear when you operate in a sketch.
The second time, you will build it faster!
