Check Out a Model or Subset

When you check out a model, you copy the model from the CSE to the toolset, and you can modify the model from the toolset.

Follow these steps:

  1. Start the toolset and check the following options from the main window:
  2. At the toolset, select Model.
  3. Select Encyclopedia, Check Out A Model.
  4. Provide a local name for the model.
  5. Click OK.
  6. Enter your user ID, password, and CSE server connection information, and click OK.
  7. If prompted, open the corresponding encyclopedia.
  8. At the Encyclopedia Checkout Client window, select Model.
  9. Select Actions, Open.
  10. Select the model.
  11. Select Open, Actions, Checkout.
  12. Enter the number of downgrades you want reported. If you are not sure, select the default.
  13. Click OK.

Note: The Checkout dialogs for Model and for the Subset checkout include a Read Only Flag check box. CA Gen does not mark the original model or the subset as checked out when the read-only option is chosen during checkout processing. Therefore, a model or a subset that is checked out for read-only cannot be checked in. However, you can create a new model from a model or can subset checked out for read-only.
