The Central Project Management dialog is locked. You can’t access the menu and create a new version. You can’t even access to the checkbox to activate the Central Project Management.

This may be normal if another user on another PcVue workstation is generating, deleting or modifying a project or library version. It is due to the LockMe.dat file located in central project folder, which contains the value “Locked” when someone is using the dialog box, and “Unlocked” when he has finished to use it. In this case, simply wait until the user has closed the dialog box before trying again.

Now let’s say this user encounters a crash while using version management, the value will never change to “Unlocked”. Then we’re stuck.

To solve this issue, you can either remove that file or modify its content to “Unlocked”.

You will then have full access to Central Project Management dialog.
