Using The Dialog
To lock a design, enter the same password into the two boxes shown. If both passwords you enter are the same, the password is encrypted and stored in the design, and the whole design is ‘Locked’ so that it cannot be edited. When a design is locked in this way, the caption for the design window shows ‘View Only’ as a reminder.
To unlock a locked design, enter the password for that design in the box. If the password you type matches the encrypted version stored in the design, the lock is removed and the design is no longer ‘View Only’.
IMPORTANT : once a design is locked, it can only be unlocked by entering the password. If you forget the password, you will need to contact Pulsonix for assistance in unlocking the design.
