Turning On Object Locking
If object locking is enabled, two network AutoCAD Map 3D users can edit
different objects in the same drawing at the same time, but cannot edit the
same object at the same time.
NOTE This functionality is for drawing objects only. For information about locking
geospatial feature data, see
Checking Out Features (page 695).
Any objects that you add to the save set are locked. Other users can view these
objects, but cannot save modifications back to the attached drawings until
you unlock the objects.
When you finish editing the objects, save them back to their attached drawings.
The objects are automatically unlocked.
Only a superuser (page 2075) can change object locking settings. See Setting Up
Users and Assigning Rights
(page 82).
