Update or Reload From Vault
You can update documents on your local drive to the version in the vault. You can also reload documents from the vault or from disk with the SolidWorks Reload command.
If the local copy of the file is read-only, SolidWorks Workgroup PDM asks if you want to overwrite the file. If you click Yes, the file is overwritten with the file's attribute changed to write access.
To update a single document from the vault:
Right-click a document in the local view and select Update/Reload From Vault.
If the vault copy is newer than the local copy, the update occurs immediately. A message appears if the vault copy is the same or older than the local copy, and you can choose to update the document or cancel the operation.
