File Locking

Enable

Rhino lock files <filename>.3dm.rhl are created to let other instances of Rhino know that a file is in use. Lock files are created when a .3dm file is opened or when an unnamed file is saved as a .3dm file.

Notes:

• Lock files do not prevent the file from being opened; they are only used to get information about who is using the file.

• This information can display in a warning message to a second user who tries to access the .3dm file with Rhino.

• If a lock file exists, Rhino lets other users open the related .3dm file only in read-only mode.

• The lock file is automatically deleted when Rhino successfully closes the .3dm file.

• If the Rhino file does not close successfully, abandoned .rhl files may prevent re-opening the associated Rhino file.

• Abandoned .rhl files can be deleted.

Display read-only warning
