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 Autodesk Inventor Feature Manager, select the part of which you want to take ownership.
  2. Do one of the following:
    • Click in the PLM toolbar.
    • 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 in Integration preference check box is not selected, the users do not take the ownership of the files even when they execute Edit File in Integration command.
