Hi all,

  i'm working on a solo projects. i created a central file and i added my objects to worksets. i rendered some worksets as (Non Editable) yet still elements included in them can still be moved and deleted and edited in all sorts of ways!

am i missing out on something here??

why are elemts still editable though the workset is locked??

please advice..

thanks

This seems to be a common misconseption for my students.  If your workset is set as "Non Editable" it means that everyone has access to them and can change them.  If you go in and make you the owner of the worksets it will make them "Editable" where it will just show the name of the current workset.  When you own a workset nobody can do anything with this.  So making it non editable does not lock your workset, making someone the owner does.

   Ok so making a workset Non Editable has no effect of any kind?? please correct me if i am wrong.

Now i'm working on a solo project so i own all the worksets..is there no way around that?? i just need my elements to be locked while i'm working to avoid mistakes.

thanks a lot !

theorical working as a single user you would not need worksets. they are designed to be used in a multi-user setup. but alot of people like to used worksets as a replacement for layers so they can control functional areas of a project.

you could try working under mutiple users name to acheive your goal.
