Hi,

I cannot modify the locked file as shown in the picture below. I could not find a way to unlock. Any suggestion? Thank you!

Right-click on the locked component in the tree and uncheck lock.n-AniketnHow to access Ansys help linksnGuidelines for Posting on Ansys Learning Forumn

You mean this?.I have some subcomponents are locked... I do not see this problem for other model... not sure whyn

[Aniket Chavan]

ok, so are you saying that you have locked some subcomponents intentionally and see the lock symbol on the root component level (topmost). Can you try copy-pasting all the parts in a new SpaceClaim session?n-AniketnHow to access Ansys help linksnGuidelines for Posting on Ansys Learning Forumn

You are right... Some components are locked for purposes. I can copy and paste to new design file and no such issue...nBut I have to redo everything in mechanical..... is there other way and why is it happening? Thanks!n

I am not sure why it is happening, but can't exchange files on the forum. And the lock symbol should have gone when you a unchecked the lock at the root level.nTry changing the following option in the properties too:nSys-6> Properties> Document> Locked> Falsen-AniketnHow to access Ansys help linksnGuidelines for Posting on Ansys Learning Forumn
