Files are in Solidworks PDM via Pack & Go - I can't check out any of them to work with them?

Corey Brenner Jul 2, 2018 2:47 PM

I have placed files into Solidworks PDM via a Pack & Go. I can go into Solidworks PDM and see the files. I can even open them. All of my options for checking out files or checking in files are greyed out in the drop down menus. How do I get this functionality to work?

Rich-click the files and choose "Add to file vault". If this is not an option in your RMB pop up then you may be offline. If you folders are blue and not green you are offline.

  I did what you mentioned and I get the attached message. It appears permissions are not set up for me to do this....

    Have your admin check the folder permissions for your group. Maybe copy in one file at a time until you get it working. If you have the correct folder permissions you can check the workflow initial state to see if you have the correct permissions there as well.
