    Locked models

    Original Tip Date: Mar 17, 2005

    Locked models
     
    MicroStation V8
    To lock the active model, use this keyin: model lock
    To unlock it, use: model unlock

    When either of these keyins are issued, the Message Center will indicate the change.

    This works well for protecting the contents and properties of the model and prevents it from accidental deletion. Note that older versions of MicroStation will allow a locked model to be deleted.
