Parameters

SetReadOnly

True to set this document to be read-only, false to not

Return Value

True if the document is set to read-only, false if not

If the file is opened as read-write, specifying read-only should work except if it is a new file because it has not been saved yet.

If the file is opened as read-only in SolidWorks, then specifying for read-write will only change the internal SolidWorks state (not the access rights on disk) and will only succeed if it would be possible to open this file with write access, i.e., if the file is read-only on disk or if another user has it open with write access then this method will not change the internal state to writeable; it will remain read-only. And false will be returned to indicate failure.
