Check Out (Autodesk Inventor)
In order to modify a CAD document which exists in the Windchill Workspace, you must check out the document. Check Out reserves the CAD document in the Commonspace for that particular user, preventing other users from checking-in changes for the same CAD document. It creates a working copy of the document in your Workspace, which holds your changes until you check in the document.
You can access the Check Out command either in the Windchill Workgroup Manager client or in Autodesk Inventor.

This allows you to revert to an earlier version of a design. For more information on checking out non-latest iterations, see Checking Out Non-latest Objects |
