Checking Out a File
If you have a Creo Illustrate session that is downloaded but not checked-out, then the file is treated by the system as a read-only file. Prior to modifying the downloaded file, you must first check it out.
1. In the
Creo Illustrate session, select
Check Out![](../Windchill_Help_Center/images/IntegrationWithOtherApplications-rds.08.1230.1.jpg)
the
Windchill ribbon.
2. The selected file is checked out and opens in the Creo Illustrate session.
