Viewing Requests for Borrowed Elements
When you initially make a request to borrow an element, you can check the status of the request in the
Check Editability Grants dialog. If you close this dialog, and continue working, you can check to see if your
request is still pending. You can also check status of a request by asking the owner if they granted or denied
the request.
To view pending requests:
1 Click File menu
➤
Editing Requests.
2 Expand My pending Requests.
If your request is listed, it is still pending.
Retracting a Request to Borrow an Element
1 Click File menu
➤
Editing Requests.
2 Under My pending Requests, select the request.
3 Click Deny/Retract.
4 Click Close.
Outdated Workshared Elements
If another user changes an element and saves it back to central, that element in your local file is outdated.
It cannot be edited (even if you borrow it) until you reload latest or save to central.
Using Worksets
When you work on a workshared project, you specify an active workset. Each new model element you add
to the project is then contained in the active workset. View-specific elements, such as annotations and
dimensions, are placed in the workset for the current view.
The general workflow for using worksets is:
1 Open worksets so they are visible in the project. See Opening Worksets on page 1201.
2 Make the workset editable. See Making Worksets Editable on page 1201.
3 Edit a workset. See Editing a Workset on page 1202.
4 Publish your changes to the central file or reload the latest changes from the central file. See
Saving Workshared Files on page 1204 and Loading Updates from the Central File on page 1206.
