Mouse Icon Tools Tab > Lock/Unlock the Current Input File Lock_Unlock ICON

Locks or unlocks the current input file. For example, if a file is unlocked, you can use this option to lock the file and create a read-only file. You cannot save changes made to a read-only file or analyze the file. If a file is locked, you can use this option to unlock the file and save changes made to the file or perform an analysis.

If you attempt to save changes or perform an analysis on a locked file, a warning message displays to inform you that the file is locked and is read-only. To save the changes you can unlock the file, or you can use the Save As function to save the changes under a new file name.

A newly created file must first be saved before it can be locked.
