Hello,
I telecommute every other day and so move projects back and forth using a USB drive. I packed up the project last night and put the expiration date today 9/21/2016 but when unpacking it today I cannot work on it because it is readonly. The project now is at home which is far from here.
What do I do to forcefully clear the read only flag?
What can I do better than this time consuming process of packing up / unpacking and check in and check out. If there were only a few changes but it appears that a whole lot of stuff gets zipped up. I also wish there was version control. Anyway, now I am stuck and I have only a few hours in the morning before a colleague uses this same computer. Today appears to be shot unless he allows me later on to work on the computer.
I tried searching forums and knowledge base but it appears that no one else went through this as well.
Other issues remain but I don't want to open a support ticket for each one of them. I look forward to your response on this one regarding read only drawings...

Open the Project Information page:
Application Menu (Round 8 upper left hand corner)>Project Information
There you will find a button that says [Check In Project] (if the project is checked out otherwise it reads Check Out Project).
Click it. It will remove the read only flag.
