    Default Read only open option from project navigator

    If someone has a construct open, and I want to open it through project navigator, I am asked if I still want to open it read only. I would like to have the option available on the right click menu to 'open read only' regardless of someone having them open or not.

    Cheers,
    This is really needed.

    There is no method of opening a drawing to examine it without locking out all other users (i.e. making it read only for them).

    I review drawings a lot and want to be able to do this without distrubing the other CAD users...
