Registry Strings for Enabling Simple or Automatic Check-in from AutoCAD

By default, closing a checked out document from integrated AutoCAD will open the standard ProjectWise Check In dialog for you to check in the document. You can change the default AutoCAD check-in behavior by configuring the following registry strings:

  • SimpleDialog
  • ShowConfirmation

Set both SimpleDialog and ShowConfirmation to True to enable simple check-in. When simple check-in is enabled and you close a checked out document, the standard ProjectWise Check In dialog is replaced with a simple confirmation dialog that prompts you, "Check in closed document?” You can then click Yes or No.

Set SimpleDialog to True and set ShowConfirmation to False to enable automatic check-in. When automatic check-in is enabled and you close a checked out document, the document is automatically checked in without any prompting.
