FAQ: How can I make a checked out file writable?

In case you need to manually change the permission of a drawing file that has been checked out, open the companion XML file of the drawing, and add your computer or domain name and your user name in the “CheckedOutToUserName” field to make it writable to you.

For example,
<CheckedOutToUserName><machinename>\<username></CheckedOutToUserName>
Note: This field is blank in the XML file if the drawing file is not checked-out by any user.
Important: When you manually override a checked out file, any changes made by the user who originally checked-out the file is lost.
