Relinquishing Unchanged Borrowed Elements
If you borrow an element and do not make any changes to it, you can relinquish it.
1 Click Collaborate tab
2 Select the workset to which the element belongs.
3 Click Non Editable.
Viewing Requests for Borrowed Elements
When you initially make a request to borrow an element, you can check the status of the request in the
Check Editability Grants dialog. If you close this dialog, and continue working, you can check to see if your
request is still pending. You can also check status of a request by asking the owner if it was granted or denied.
To view pending requests:
1 Click Collaborate tab
2 Expand My pending Requests.
If your request is listed, it is still pending.
Retracting a Request to Borrow an Element
1 Click Collaborate tab
2 Under My pending Requests, select the request.
3 Click Deny/Retract.
4 Click Close.
Outdated Workshared Elements
If another user changes an element and publishes the changes, that element in your local file is outdated.
It cannot be edited (even if you borrow it) until you Reload Latest (see
File on page 1269) or synchronize with central.

Using Worksets

When you work on a workshared project, you specify an active workset. Each new model element you add
to the project is then contained in the active workset. View-specific elements, such as annotations and
dimensions, are placed in the workset for the current view.
The general workflow for using worksets is:
1 Open worksets so they are visible in the project. See
2 Make the workset editable. See
3 Edit a workset. See
Worksets panel Worksets.
