Bugs and Issues / Re: Preventing the Automatic Display of Block Properties

« on: March 10, 2020, 03:39:17 am »

I was hoping that there was something more proactive that we could do - like a setting (or multiple settings) that I could set up in EA to suppress the display of properties before I open the model for the first time.  Even with a script, there would be be quite a bit of tidying up to do.

Bugs and Issues / Preventing the Automatic Display of Block Properties

My program is planning on upgrading from EA 13.5 to EA 15.1, and in the process of transitioning a copy of our model file to test it out, I have found that there appears to be some kind of setting that automatically displays a block's properties even when they weren't being displayed before.  This causes a great deal of distortion to all of the BDDs (there are hundreds in our model).  Is there a way to prevent this from happening and save us a lot of re-work to fix all of the BDDs?

I was not able to locate the mystery locked elements with the SQL searches.  However, disabling security did allow me to perform the necessary cleanup, and I was able to enable security again without any issue.

Thank you all so much for your responses!

I've forced all elements from other users to be unlocked and locked them myself.  I've also had all other users exit the model.  Unfortunately, the problem persists despite these actions.

This is a case of EA acting in a way it shouldn't.  Normally to delete a package, I would lock the model, then lock the package and its children, then delete it.  Unfortunately, I keep getting told that there are locked elements in the package when I'm the only person who has anything locked.  For grins, I've tried it with the package and its children unlocked and the same message shows up.

I mentioned being an admin because non-admin users tried deleting these packages and were told they did not have the necessary permissions.

I've also tried repairing the model to see if would help, and it didn't.

Bugs and Issues / Deleting Packages

« on: May 17, 2018, 02:00:11 am »

I'm getting an error when trying to delete an old Package that states "The selected item is currently locked, or contains items that are currently locked.  It cannot be deleted at this time."  The issue is that this package doesn't have any items that are locked by anyone but myself, and I have admin privileges, so this shouldn't be an issue.  This package only contains empty folders.

My team is currently using EA 13, but this particular model has been through multiple upgrades (first EA 10, then EA12).  Has anyone else encountered this issue and know how to fix it?
