Get write access

Did I miss a memo?

There used to be the possibility to get 'write access' when working on a PRT or ASM that someone else had open by just doing a RMB and selecting it out of the pop up.

Am I losing it?
Did I imagine it?
Should I see to up my meds?

No you're correct, there are instances of selections that makes it that do not show up, but it should generally show.

Have you looked if it was hidden unintentionally or by a SolidWorks bug?

Hi @Peter De Vlieger

I believe this is where you turn it on/off
System Options > Collaboration > Enable multi-user environment > Add shortcut menu items...

Ron,

That is right.
However I never change that setting so there for, silly ol' me, I expect it to work.
