OK, First challenge,
I am working through the tutorials on setting up worksets, central files and local files.
We have a network of computers and we store our drawing files to a server.
I have created a central file which I have saved to a location on the server.
I have also created a ocal user file. I have also saved this to the server.
I am working through the tutorial on multi-users. We do not have two computers with revit installed and as such I need to run the multiuser exercise from one computer using two different sessions of revit.
My first session has the first local user file open. Leaving this open within its own session I have opened another session and set the username to user2.
I go to open the central file to create a local file named user 2. Revit will not allow me do creae the file. It gives the following error:
'This local project has been saved by user 'User1', current user is 'User2'. Please change your user name or stop working on this file'
What have I done wrong?

First off, save your local file to your computer rather than placing it on the network. It will result in less network traffic and faster saves.
Okay, Each user must open the central file and save a local copy for themselves. Once user cannot open another users local file and start working on it. Which is why you are receiving this error. You would need to open the central file with user2 then save a local copy for that user.
HTH.

So opening a separate session with a different username will not work? It needs to be a separate computer on the network?

No you can open another session of revit and work on the file but they both need to be working on different local files.
However doing what your doin is not recommended.

Mr Spot,
I am only doing this for the sake of doing the tutorial. The tutorial actually mentions creating two sessions if there is only one computer involved.
That is the case with me as my computer is the only one with revit installed.
I created a local file from the central and saved it to my C drive and called it Local 1. If I open another session and used another username (user 2) and try to create a local file using the same central file I get the error as mention in the above post.
This should work. I'll get playing around and read each word carefully within the tutorial.

Here's something I noticed.
If I try to open the central file using a session of revit which contains a username that is different than the username that was used to create the central file, I receive the same error as the one I mention above.
Does this mean anything?

It means its not the central file...
The central file will allow anyone to open it.

Remember that you can install revit without a license and use it for 30 days in trial mode. You could do this on another computer to do proper multi-user testing.
