Help please with 2015 after installing 2016
-
Hi,
W10 current build, all patches installed. Sketchup 2015 was running great. Yesterday I installed 2016 to begin the transition. Today I jumped back to 2015 to continue with a paying project and noticed several .skb files. I closed 2015, checked 2016 (autosave or backup isn’t checked), closed 2016, started 2015 and now get the dreaded "file is locked by a current user".
How to fix this?
Thank you in advance,
Glenn

Either Windows has the file open (even if it is highlighted in file explorer), or Sketchup has it open in another instance.
You can always reboot Windows and then open the file in 2015 (as long as it wasn't saved in 2016 as a 2016 file)

ok, dug through my notes from the last time this happened (with a 15.x update), and did this workaround Option 5: Open Windows Explorer and navigate to C:\Program Files\SketchUp\SketchUp 2015. Right-click on the file “ThumbsUp.dll” and select Rename. Rename the file to “ThumbsUp.old”. This will disable the drawing of SketchUp thumbnails in Explorer.
Did it to both 2015 & 2016.
Rebooted, hopefully this will fix it going forward.
If any Trimble employees are here, PLEASE FIX THIS
Thanks,
Glenn
