    Default Close Revit without saving changes?

    How can you close down Revit and not save changes?

    So say you have a user open up a local file, modify it some, never save to central then decide. "Nah... I just want to exit Revit. Forget everything I just did."

    So you hit the little x in the top corner and you presented with the dialog box attached below.

    My understanding is that "Save to Central..." will well... Save to Central - Not what I want to do.

    "Don't Relinquish" will keep the objects borrowed as your own. - Not what I want to do.

    "Cancel" kicks you out of the close mode.

    How do I exit and don't save changes? Its must be something simple that I'm missing.

    Thanks Sage

    Default Re: Close Revit without saving changes?

    You need to hit Dont relinquish, and then close the file. It will prompt you to save the LOCAL file, and you say NO.

    Then, you reopen the local file (you didnt save it, so the changes are undone) and STC or relinquish all mine.

    Its a confusing process, but thats how you do it...
