Explanation

Important warning information. Check-in can still proceed without resolving the issue.

Blocking warning that prevents check-in. Resolution required to complete the check-in.

and Previous Warning

Warnings can include the following:


Unknown file format	Files of this type cannot be checked in to the server. This warning might occur if you renamed a file to file of a different type, for example, renaming a bmp file into a file with a part (SLDPRT) or assembly ( SLDASM) extension.
Cyclic reference	File that is referenced is itself referencing the initial file.
File not found	File may be in another directory or outside the local directory for 3DEXPERIENCE.
File is not rebuilt	The file needs to be rebuilt in SOLIDWORKS. Click the icon to display a list of references that require a rebuild.
Balloon numbers cannot be resolved	In the following circumstances, the balloon numbers in a SOLIDWORKS drawing cannot be synchronized with X-CAD Design Management EBOMs. The drawing BOM is of type "Parts Only" The drawing BOM is of type "indented" The drawing BOM uses the SOLIDWORKS "Part configuration grouping" setting. The drawing has not been saved in SOLIDWORKS 2012 or later. If you receive this warning, it is recommended that you modify the drawing BOM type to Top Level Only, and re-save the file in SOLIDWORKS 2012 or later.
File is checked out on another computer	Check-in must be performed from the computer where the file is checked out.
File is open in another application	Close the file in the other application and try the check-in again.
Derived format (PDF) only supported from SOLIDWORKS	SOLIDWORKS preferences are set to create a derived .pdf file when the document is checked in. You are performing the check-in from outside SOLIDWORKS. The derived .pdf can only be created when the drawing is open and check is performed from within the SOLIDWORKS application.
Outside 3DEXPERIENCE	The file is not in the 3DEXPERIENCE view, although it is referenced by a file you are checking in that is in the 3DEXPERIENCE view. For example, you would see this message if you did the following: In a temporary directory, create an assembly that references a part file in the same location. Copy only the assembly into your local Connector for SOLIDWORKS view. Try to check the assembly into the server. Both the assembly and the part appear in the Check In dialog box. However, because the part is not in the 3DEXPERIENCE view, its check box is unavailable and the Outside 3DEXPERIENCE message appears in as part of the Result information. Note: When the message is an error message, the system blocks the check-in. When it is a warning, you are unable to select the referenced file, but can complete the check-in. The administrator sets a Global Configuration Object (GCO) attribute to determine if the message is an error or a warning.
The file name contains unsupported characters	The family object name contains one or more unsupported characters. Connector for SOLIDWORKS names cannot contain: \|"#@$&%,*?<>[] Without auto-numbering, Connector for SOLIDWORKS makes the family object name the file name.
A Configuration name contains unsupported characters	The configuration name, which is combined with the family name for the instance name, contains one or more of these unsupported characters: \|"#@$&%,*?<>[]
A Configuration name is too long	The configuration name is too long. The server only supports 128-byte names. Your configuration name is over this maximum. Depending on the text content a single letter can use more than one byte.
Duplicate file name	The file name, that is, the family object name, is a duplicate file name.
