thanks for quick response, I have attached two pictures, one is main assembly file created by me, which is okay, but another part created by my colleague is read only, although iit is not opened on other side.

Hey awaisqutab! Sorry for the nudge. 

I just wanted to check in and see if you’re still having an issue with this.

In case you do, can you please reply to Walter’s questions here, or else, share what helped resolve the issue for you?

Thanks!
