version, and the file is unlocked. Otherwise, you can continue to edit the file

until you are ready to share the changes with others.

You can also use drag-and-drop or Cut/Copy/Paste from the Microsoft Windows

desktop to update a drawing in your site. If a drawing file with the same name

exists in the target folder, it is assumed that you want to update the existing

drawing file. When you use the Cut/Copy/Paste method to add or update a

drawing, the item is not locked.

The server maintains previous versions of drawings.

NOTE The project that you are adding a drawing to, may have a size limit in place.

This means that if the size limit has been reached you will receive an error message

and you can not upload files until more space is available. To make more space

available, either items need to be deleted or the size limit needs to be increased.

Contact your project or site administrator.

To edit a locked drawing:

If you have Administrator or Edit permission and attempt to download or edit

a locked file, a message appears to let you know about the existing lock and

asks if you still want to continue the operation. If you continue, the file is

downloaded and saved to your computer but will remain lockded by the editor

who locked the file to start with.

NOTE When downloading a file to your local computer ensure that the file is not

currently open on your desktop.

After the file is downloaded, the application registered as the file type's editor

with Microsoft Windows opens the file on your computer (if a document is

a redline, link, or note, it is edited within Buzzsaw). If you want to choose a

different editing application, you can make the change at this point.
