    Default No Local - bummer

    We have one project, in one office, where a Revit 2013 Central file regularly goes rogue and will not allow users to create local via the check box in the Open dialog. We tweak it, it comes back to normal, then back to the antisocial behavior. Any experience or ideas on this? We checked permissions, etc., but it looks good and it's one file ot of dozens across the firm. Thanks

    The only conditions I can recall triggering this behavior is when there is a change to the path or file name of the central file.

    Is someone opening the central file while there are active users? Never, ever do that.

    Once a central file has been established and users are connected, there should be no reason to open it. Even as BIM manager, I access the CF through my local.

    Usually the culprit is the network path. Intermittent can be something else, file access (Synchronization with Central by others). I find the create new local option is disable occasionally when there are a lot of other users active. If I select the file and the option is disabled I click on another central to see if it is network related. If I wait a few seconds or minutes I find that clicking on the file again will allow Revit another "look" at the file and the option "wakes up". It may just be busy people and activity between locals and the central.

    Then again another possibility is that someone is saving a file over the central which renders it a local file.
