Reload
Allows you to reload documents. This is useful, for example, if, in
a multi-user environment, you have
read-only access and want to reload the latest version with any changes
made by another user. You can also set document read/write status in the
Reload dialog box and undo changes
since the last Save operation.
To access the Reload dialog box:
Click Reload
(Standard toolbar) or File,
Reload.
Click Check Read-Only Files
on the Standard toolbar. If the files have not changed,
a message appears. If shared files have been updated by other users, or
if other users have relinquished access to shared files, the Reload
dialog box appears populated with these files.
If you specified the Collaboration
Option for the system to check file status, when the system detects
a change to a shared file, a tooltip in the lower right of the graphics
area points to an icon on the status bar. Changes can be:
Another user saves a file that you have open
in SolidWorks, making your file out of date.
Another user relinquishes write access to
a file that you have open in SolidWorks by making the file read-only or
closing the file, allowing you to take write access.
Click the icon to access the Reload
dialog box.
File Listing
When the Reload dialog box appears,
the active model (part or assembly) is listed.
Once the references are displayed,
you cannot hide them again.
If you accept the collaboration option settings when you log in to SolidWorks Workgroup
PDM, all references are shown automatically.
Sort files by

The filenames
remain indented when sorted. You can sort by:

Workgroup PDM
If you reload a file that exists
in a Workgroup PDM Vault, the following changes occur in the Reload dialog box.
You can
choose to reload from
Workgroup PDM Vault or Disk.
Reloading from Workgroup PDM Vault is equivalent to Update/Reload from Vault in Workgroup PDM.
References
are always displayed.
The column
labeled Newer Version Available?
is now labeled Newer Version In Vault?
if you opened the document from the PDMWorks Workgroup Vault.
