Change Revision help

Anonymous — Tue, 14 Jan 2025 21:15:43 GMT

I am trying to use the revision tool for the first time and I somehow locked some revision schemes that I want to delete. Any clues on how to unlock them? I have the entire project reserved. Thank you in advance.

Well I figured it out....

I had views on manual update showing old deleted bubbles. I had to update the views do a send and receive, release all. Quit the file and re-opened. Then it worked.

Greetings, I have a similar issue within my solo project. I have updated all the drawings and modules, however when I place a hot linked module, a locked change icon appears in the change manager list which I cannot delete. I do not wish to show adding a HLM as a change. How can this be deleted or avoided.
Thanks, Scott

Open the source file of the Hotlinked Module and delete the Change entry there.
Save the file then update Hotlinks in the host file, I think the locked Change will disappear from the list.

Thank you Laszlo! I am not exactly sure what you are saying. The source of the HLM is contained within the file where the modules reside (off to the side). I have deleted the placed HLMs, then re-saved the module as a MOD, then placed new instances of the HLM. When the HLMs were deleted, no locked change appeared in the Change Manager, however placing a new module caused a new locked change in the Change Manager which cannot be deleted. Scott

Are there any Change elements in the Module you save? As far as I know those Changes come in only if the Module contains them:

However, the issue may rise from the fact that the source of the Module is the host file itself.
Are all Changes coming in as locked duplicates? Or only those Changes that are visible in the Modules? Can you save those Modules without the Change Markers being visible? Or without any element linked to a Change entry being visible?

Thank you Laszlo. I no longer needed the modules linked. By breaking the links the locked change issue was removed. Thanks again.
