We've been having this error occur repeatedly and cannot get it to go away! The error is "Can't edit Element Until 'user' resaves the element to central and relinquishes". We've tried everything, but it keeps returning. I'm hoping someone here at Revit City can help us.
THE SYMPTONS
1. There is a particular series of sheets which repeatedly show up as being checked out. It is always the same series which cause the problem (we think the sheets are somehow corrupt).
2. They are almost always checkjed out by users who have not worked on them and sometimes the users have not EVER accessed the files (this leads us to believe there the error may be spreading through links). The
2. At times this error becomes so prevalent a loop is created where no one can do anything because everyone needs someone else to Synch. We eventually clear it, but it causes significant down time and information has been lost.
3. Occasionally, once we clear the permissions the exact same sheets show as being checked out by a different user (as if they are stuck in a queue as a similar thread on Revit City suggested).
4. The project is a large hospital and there are many users and many linked files.
WHAT WE'VE DONE
1. Opening the files with all the worksets off then loading the worksets once the file is open seems to work.... most of the time. However, sometimes the only way to get the file to open is log in as the perpetrator and relinquishes or synchronise.
2. We've detached the files and overwritten the central. This seems to help but eventually the same sheets create the same errors.
3. We use workshare monitoring to make sure people are not synching at the same time and that people don't wait too long between synchs.
4. We've deleted and re-created the problematic sheets but the problem still occurs.
Somehow there is an emebedded error associated with a aprticular series of sheets and we can't fix it. To date, this problem has cost us over a hunder hours of lost time. Any Suggestions are welcomed!
