Check In is not saving locally

Todd Barr Jul 31, 2014 9:38 AM

I am doing some testing before we upgrade from EPDM 2012 to 2014 and noticed that when I Check In a file it is not saving locally first, therefore it is not Checking In my changes? Is this a setting? I thought default behavior for Check In was to Save Local then Check In. If I Save first then Check In everything works but this is an extra click.

Thanks, Todd

UPDATE: I only get this behavior if I do NOT Check Out the file before making a modification to the file. On EPDM 2012 I could modify the file first without having it Checked Out, then Check Out and Check In and file would get saved locally. With EPDM 2012 I am forced to Check Out before making any modifications if I want my modifications to get Checked In.

Hi Todd, I believe this is intended behaviour.

If you open a file without checking it out and then save, you are creating a new file effectively.

To keep your modified changes and create a new version of the same file, you will need to check out, make changes, save locally, then Check in.

Kind regards,

Prasad

  However, if you modify a Part in and Assembly, exit Part without saving, and Assembly is NOT checked out, it will let you Check Out the Assembly and create a new Version of the Assembly? this makes no sense.... I have submitted this to our VAR, hoping this gets flagged as a bug.

Hi Todd,
If I understood well in 2012 you can save modified files even it is not checkout. In my opinion this is an abnormal behavior because a file that is not checkout is like read only file so you can't save it.
