Take ownership

While working on a large assembly, you may need to update a particular part. To prevent other users from making changes to this part simultaneously, you must take ownership of the file.

To take ownership of a file within an assembly:

  1. In the Creo Feature Manager, select the part of which you want to take ownership.
  2. In the PLM menu, select Take Ownership.

    As a result, you are the owner and the file is locked for other users.

    Note: When Take Ownership during Edit File preference check box is not selected, the users do not take the ownership of the files even when they execute Edit File command.
