Cleaning Up your Worksets

If you have downloaded several worksets for the same projects, it is easy to get confused about what happens. Reservations are stored in a workset and only valid in that workset. So if you restart Quadri for Windows and happen to open another workset for the same project, you may be confused that your reservations seem gone.

We recommend always to have only 1 workset for the same project on one pc. If you switch between different pcs, you can have a workset on each of them. But then you should release all reservations on one before you change to another and continue working. Even if you were the one doing the reservation, it will only be valid for the workset you reserved with.

Worksets are stored in the placement selected in "Settings" for Quadri for Windows (see alternative 3 in: Find the location of a workset).

If you have several worksets on your pc and want to clean things up:

• Find the location of a workset and follow alternative 3 there, to get a list of all your worksets.

• For each of these worksets that correspond to the project you are trying to clean up, open it in Quadri for Windows with "Open Single User model" and selecting the QuadriModel file for that workset.

• Check if there are changes to share in this workset, by selecting "Share".

• If you decide this is not the workset you will continue to work with, share any changes. 

• Then right click the cloud symbol in the Quadri Explorer window for that workset and select "Disconnect". This will delete all files for that workset from your pc and also let the server know you are no longer working with this workset.

• If there is some workset you can't open, but have changes you want to save, you have to Send workset to Support. If you know there is nothing important there, just delete the directory containing the QuadriModel file. At the same time, let your Model Manager Administrator know you have deleted this workset, so it can be disconnected on the server as well.
