Check Out a File
You can check out the currently opened file. Checking out a file changes the
read-only attribute of the local copy to read/write.
Once a vaulted file is checked out, it can be edited. Only one member of a
team can check out a file at one time. No one else can modify a checked out
file until it has been checked back into the vault. Use Autodesk Vault to see
who has a file checked out. This information can be obtained from the User
Name column.
To check a file out of a vault
1 Click the Vault tab File Status panel Check Out
