  1. No, multiple users can open the same network file, work on it and save it with no warning that someone else is in the file. It gets worse.... you can open multiple copies of the same file on your PC, work on both of them and save both of them, again without warning. I overwrote a day's work once because I had 2 copies of the same file open. I opened one copy and started working.. then got called away from my desk. When I came back, I opened a second copy and worked on it all day. At the end of the day as I was shutting down my PC I saved the original file overwriting a day's work. The next morning I opened the file and was shocked to see a day's work gone. Fortunately, I use the backup utility and have it set to 10 incremental saves so I was able to recover my work. I reported this years ago and was told the fix was two or three releases away,,, but that was in X5. This is an issue that desperately needs addressing.

  2. I put about half an hour into the below solution; it's worth about the time I put into it... It sets and resets the Windows 'Read-only' attribute of the current Mastercam file. When you attempt to save a Mastercam file that's has it's 'Read-only' attribute set you get the below error message. Attached is a .zip archive containing the .dll and .ft files. Make sure that the .dll is unblocked, then copy it and the .ft file to Mastercam's Chooks folder. The source can be found on my GitHub. FileLocker1_0.zip
