Objects locked

Namaste,
I received a file to do some construction documentation, some of the objects are locked and not able to make any changes to it, I relinked the hot link modules and even deleted them to see if that will have any impact, but none, am I missing anything?
Thanks in advance for all your time.

Are they locked in the actual hotlink module?
i.e. open the module and edit them there.

Or are they MEP objects and you do not have a MEP license?
I am not sure if this locks them but I know they can't be edited if you don't have a MEP license.

Thank you, I will get it confirmed, I am sure, those objects are not from hotlink module, as they are appearing even after deleting the modules from the hotlink manager.

The lock might come from opening a file that had MEP modeler in another that does not. So you will need to unlock the objects.
