hi,

in expedition library manager V2.2, we have a .lmc file which is reserved (for write).i want to open a cell in the same .lmc file in cell editor as read only mode.but when we open the cell in read only mode it shows some partion are reserved(all partition unreserved and again do this,same issue reporting).i also raised some SR regarding this one but its not solved yet now.due to this reason i take a copy of .lmc file and work in localy.

our .lmc file is located in server and we want the same file read only mode and aldo we want to open the cell available in that .lmc file in cell editor mode.

rgds,

akhil raj

If you want to allow some people write access and others read-only access then you need to use the OS file access permissions to manage this.

So the question is what are you trying to do? It is not clear from your statement whether you want to edit a cell or not. Generally users other than librarians don't need access to the library through library manager, they access the data via Databook or Search and the cell viewers in the schematic tools.

In the case of cells, parts and pads, if one user is editing a an object all others are locked out as all of the cells, parts and pads are in one binary file.

The exception is symbols which are indovidual files.

So what error message do you get, bearing in mind that opening a cell will lock the entire partition, so this may be working as intended.
