From Autodesk Support:
Thank you for choosing Autodesk Support.
I understand when trying to sync a local file or relinquish ownership (which sometimes requires syncing first), you get an error that another user needs to relinquish and save first. When they go to relinquish, they also get the error, but with a different user.
This I not an uncommon even when there are a number of local files all hitting one central file.
The fix is to follow the errors to a first user (chase the error around the local files), and once someone is able to save and relinquish, have the users save and relinquish in the reverse order. Once that process is completed, I would go through the following process:
1. Open the Central file directly with Audit Checked.
2. Use Save As to save the file on top of the old version.
3. Relinquish all ownership.
4. Close Revit.
5. On the workstations, open Windows Explorer (Windows key +E).Type %temp% in the address bar.
6. Delete as many files as possible from this folder. Some files may not be able to be deleted if they are in use by other applications on your machine.
7. Move the local files and their backups to the desktop.
8. Open the project file with "Create new local" checked.
I would then go into the Revit options and turn the Worksharing Update Frequency to Manual.
Also, are users using the Worksharing Monitor?
If the behavior continues, please reply with the journal files from each person accessing the central file along with the worksharing log.
The worksharing log is located in the backup folder of the central file, and will have a .slog file extension.
You can find the location by pasting the path below into the Address Bar if a Windows Explorer window:
C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Autodesk\Revit\Autodesk Revit Architecture 2012\Journals
