Problem:
When attempting to add to or make changes to the cogo points, the following message is received "The command is unavailable because the cogo buffer has read-only access".
Solution:
The most likely cause is that the cogo buffer has been set to read-only. To resolve this problem:
- In the InRoads Explorer window, right-click on the geometry project name and select "Details".
- In the Access Control Details list, locate and highlight the Cogo Buffer.
- If the Cogo Buffer is not locked by another user, you can simply choose to Check Out the cogo buffer to set it to Read-Write.
- If the Cogo Buffer is locked by another user, you will need to request that the user Check In the file so that it may be accessed. <Ctrl> Free can be used to free a cogo buffer that may be locked by a user that no longer exists.
