NOTE With page setup overrides, you can use the PUBLISHCOLLATE system variable
to control whether printing a layout set can be interrupted by other plot jobs or
not.
Use Projects in a Team
You can use projects in a team that can involve network access and online
collaboration. The team can also include people who use software that does
not include the Project Manager.
Work in a Team That Uses Project Manager
When you use projects in a team, each member should have network access
to the project data (DST) file and the drawing template (DWT) files associated
with the project. Each team member can open the project to load the
information from the DST file into the Project Manager.
Any change made by a team member results in the DST file being opened
briefly while changes are being saved back. When the DST file is opened and
being edited, a lock icon appears below the Project popup menu. Adjacent to
the lock icon is the name of the user currently editing the file, in the format
of "In use by <user name>".
The lock icon appears under the following situations:
Properties of the project, a group, a layout, or a view in the project are
being edited.
A layout is being created or added to the project.
Project, group, or layout are being renamed.
Placement of a view label or callout block.
Project (DST) file is read-only or is in a read-only location.
As items are added or modified in the Project tree view, the changes are
automatically seen on other workstations that have the project (DST) file open
in the Project Manager.
If each member of the team has access to the drawing template (DWT) files,
new drawing files and their layouts are created using the same standards; page
setups for these drawings are also standardized.
