Save to Central Best Practices
The following is a list of best practices for synchronizing with central (SWC) in Revit:
Never leave for extended periods of time (Lunch, Meeting, Home, etc.) immediately after hitting the Sync button.
Never leave for extended periods of time (Lunch, Meeting, Home, etc.) immediately after hitting the Sync button.
- Revit will often ask for user input before the process is complete. If this happens while you have left, your team can be stuck with a central file that is in use and would not allow them to save and/or keep working.
Use the Worksharing Monitor (WSM) and consult it before hitting the Sync button.
- Knowing if someone else on your team is currently saving, can save you time with your own save to central as only one save request can be completed at a time. If someone else is saving to central and you attempt a save, you will receive an error message indicating that central file is busy and you will have to wait until both saves are completed to continue working. Wait for an opening in the WSM and then sync.
- The worksharing monitor for Revit 2014 can be found in the Autodesk folder on the S drive.
