Preventing Duplicate File Names in the Vault

You can enable duplicate file name checking for a vault so that users cannot create multiple files with the same name.

To enable duplicate file name checking:

Right-click File Types and select Duplicate file name settings.
In the Duplicate File Name Check dialog box, select one of the options.
Click OK.

Search 'Preventing Duplicate File Names in the Vault' in the SOLIDWORKS Knowledge Base.
