Switch edit mode on and off

When working in the Project Schedule dialog box, you can only make changes when you have the edit mode on. The edit mode ensures that Tekla PowerFab users do not make conflicting changes if they work on the project schedule simultaneously. While one has the edit mode on, no other user can make changes to the project schedule of the same project. Other users can still view the schedule.

Any time that you try to make changes to a project schedule after the timeout time has been reached, a confirmation dialog box will open, asking if you want to enter edit mode.

You can also switch the edit mode on or off by using a keyboard shortcut. Do the following:

To switch the edit mode on, press Ctrl+E on the keyboard.

The edit mode will stay on until you press Ctrl+E again or the timeout time is reached. The timeout ensures that a user does not lock out others from making changes to the project schedule for a long period of time.

To adjust the timeout time, see Modify the project schedule settings.
