Hi everybody,

Is it possible to change readonly state of a file while it is open in solidworks

I have an SolidWorks addin developed in C#.  When the users wants to save a readonly file, the addin should

asks to user wheter to overwrite the file or not. if user says yes then

the program should remove the readonly flag from the file properties and save it without any complain.

Currently, when I make the file writeable, solidworks still thinks it is readonly.
