Site, using %lock And one needs to un-lock it at a lower level to reset it for a specific project &quot;HOW&quot; There isn&#39;t an %unlock and %undef does not work either.en-USTelligent Community 12https://communities.bentley.com/thread/615054?ContentTypeID=1Mon, 19 Oct 2020 20:46:09 GMT6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:89b22167-5ea2-4a8a-852d-c153fe7360aaTim Hickman<p>this works as designed.</p> <p>As Melissa mentions - you need to find the file the lock is defined in and remove it.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/615039?ContentTypeID=1Mon, 19 Oct 2020 19:03:40 GMT6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:4d45c8f5-0fcf-4b54-b89b-787c1322513cAlex White<p>Just FYI if anyone else stumbles upon this thread the solution I found was to make hidden files and folders visible. Give myself admin privileges to C:\ProgramData\Bentley then search the Bentley folder for *.cfg files. I looked though the .cfg files until i found one&nbsp;called capabilities and locks. Opened to edit and added a plus to the variable i wanted to change and it worked. If you want to unlock a variable for editing in MS i think you can delete the %lock from the front of it but i would be very careful you dont mess up the syntax. Good luck!</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/298961?ContentTypeID=1Wed, 10 Sep 2014 18:47:54 GMT6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:b6ce63ee-33a2-4d2c-a40b-469202fc1d99Melissa Hook<p>The only way to unlock a variable is to go into the configuration file it is locked in (through Notepad) and take the %lock out from in front of the variable it is locking. </p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
