Releasing All Locked Objects for a Specific User
If a system failure occurs while objects are locked, you must manually release
the object locks. However, only a superuser (page 2075) can remove locks set by
other users.
NOTE If a drawing is activated in another user's drawing, you will not be able to
release locks in that drawing.
When you remove locks, the object is also removed from the save set. You
can restore the locks by adding the objects to the save set again.
NOTE This functionality is for drawing objects only. For information about locking
geospatial feature data, see
Checking Out Features (page 695).

NOTE This procedure is for drawing objects only. For information about locking
geospatial feature data, see
Checking Out Features (page 696).
To release all locked objects
1 Click Map Setup tab Map panel Drawing Maintenance.
2 In the Drawing Maintenance dialog box (page 1920), under Active Drawings,
select the drawing that contains the locks to release.
3 Select User List.
The names of the users responsible for the locks appear under User Name.
The number of objects locked by each user appears under Number of
Objects Locked.
4 Select Remove Locks.
If you do not have
superuser (page 2075) privileges, you can remove only the
locks that you have set. AutoCAD Map 3D removes the objects from the save
set.
