To Check In a Checked Out Document from AutoCAD
Note: The steps below are
only necessary if you have not enabled automatic check-in. For details, see
Registry Strings
for Enabling Simple or Automatic Check-in from AutoCAD.
- If you have made any changes to the document, first select File > Save to save your changes locally.
-
Now close the open document as usual (File >
Close or
File > Exit).
The Check In dialog opens.
-
If a
Comment tab exists on your Check In dialog,
select it and type your comments in the Comments field. If you added comments
on previous check ins, you can also select from a list containing your
previously entered comments.
Comments may be optional or required, depending on your configuration. If comments are required but you click Check In before adding comments, the Comment tab is forced to the front of the dialog and the Check In button is disabled until you add comments. If comments are optional, you will still see the Comment tab, but you will be able to click Check In without entering any comments.
-
Click
Check In.
The document is closed and checked in.
Note: If you select File
> Close or File > Exit before selecting File > Save, you will be
prompted to save your changes locally first. If this happens, click Yes to save
your changes locally. You must click Yes if you want your changes to make it to
ProjectWise. If you click No, your changes will
not be saved locally, however you will still be prompted to check in the
checked out document. If you click No and then click Check In on the Check In
dialog, it will be the same as if you had saved your changes locally but then
selected to Free the document.
