creates a workset is the owner of that workset by default. Once you have
created the worksets necessary for your project and you click OK in the

your control of the worksets prior to saving the file as a central file.
After enabling worksharing and establishing your worksets, click the Save
button to create the central file. Because this is the first time you have saved
the file as a central file, the message box shown in
Figure 3.5
is displayed.

Save File As Central Model
If, however, you want to change the name of the central file, use the Save
As option. For example, some companies use one naming convention for
nonworkset projects and another for those with worksets enabled. In the
former, the project is named with a project number (
12345-HVAC.rvt
)
and then, after worksharing has been enabled, the name is changed via
the Save As process to contain the word
Worksets
or the letters
WS
(
12345-HVAC-Worksets.rvt
or
12345-HVAC-WS.rvt
). Because this
file has just had worksharing enabled, clicking the Options button shows
you that this file is being saved as a central file, and the Make This A Central
Model After Save check box is grayed out, as shown in
Figure 3.6
.
