IDEA // Armory
Your team's CAD files on every computer, checked out and checked in, with every version kept.
Sign in to see your Armory projects.
How Armory works
- Check out
- Opening a part in SolidWorks checks it out to you. Everyone else sees who has it and can still open it to look.
- Check in
- Saving and closing checks it in. Your save becomes the newest version on every computer in the project.
- Versions
- Every check in is kept. Open a file here to see each version, who saved it and when, and download an old one.
- Side versions
- If you save a file someone else had checked out, or save from an older copy, your work is kept as a side version beside the main one. Nothing is ever thrown away.
- Undo check out and Force check in
- Undo check out gives a file back without saving. A mentor, a CAD lead, an instructor or a site admin can use Force check in on a file someone forgot to check in; their unsaved changes are kept as a side version.
