Administrators can configure user settings to specify how the Check Out dialog box handles referenced files.
Users typically want to work with the latest version of files. However, some users need to work with assemblies that use older versions of references that they have cached, rather than the latest version of the files in the vault.
The revised Reference Dialog page in the user and group Settings dialog box lets administrators specify whether or not reference files will be automatically selected for Get latest in the Check Out dialog box. It contains this option, which is the default:
Auto select reference files to get latest when checking out.
To maintain the cached version of reference files during check out, you must clear this option.
If you enable this option, you can set these conditions:
| Always work with the latest version of files. |
Retrieves the latest available version of files to the local vault view when viewing or opening them. This option was previously available on the Explorer tab of the Settings dialog box, under Miscellaneous.
|
| Enable the Get Version command in SolidWorks. |
Only available when you select Always work with the latest version of files. Enables the Get Version command in SolidWorks to retrieve earlier versions of open files.
|
| Check out files silently without showing the check out dialog box. |
Prevents the display of the Check Out dialog box, when you check out files with references. The software checks out only the selected files; users must separately check out each referenced file.
|
| Try to check out all referenced files when the referencing file is checked out. |
When users check out files with references to other files, the referenced files are also marked for check out (if it is possible).
If you also activate the option to check out files silently, checking out parent files automatically checks out all referenced files.
