After Check In Option

Use the properties of the After Check In Option to define what happens to a local SolidWorks file after it has been copied to the PLM vault during the check-in procedure.

The available properties are:
Make Files Read-Only
The files are left in the SolidWorks directory, but cannot be updated.
Delete File
The files only exist in the PLM vault. To work on them in SolidWorks, you must you must retrieve them from PLM using the Edit File or View File commands and check out the file either before or after the retrieval. For further information, see Checking out a file.
Note that if the Deleted option is selected and the local file that is deleted belongs to an assembly, the following applies:
  • If the file that is checked in is the root of an assembly, the integration only deletes the local copy of the root object that is checked in. The integration deletes the root object without checking whether the root object is used in another assembly.
  • No local versions of the sub-assemblies or components of the checked in root object are deleted, because the user may be working with other assemblies that use the same components, which therefore must remain on the local machine.

To define the action to be performed on the local SolidWorks files, select the required radio button and click OK.
