PDM: Set Revision is Grayed Out - But I'm Admin! You need to have set revision permissions in both the folder the file is in and the workflow state it is currently in. You may be logged in as an administrator, or even the Admin user, but you may be part of a group that doesn't have those permissions, and hence is overridding.

Changing elements from shell to solid Let me explain: in my last simulation I had to investigate a stack of sheets and, in order to reduce the # of elements, I have defined the sheets as shell elements. After I realized that because of some particular constraints I wasn't able to obtain good results with shell elements, I tried to switch back to solid elements but I couldn't find a "shell2solid" button/option.

Fail to Save Document This just happened to me yesterday (using SW2018 SP2.) As some of you know, you try to save the SW part file and it gives you this error dialog "Fail to save document". While I was in this state (file in session but cannot save my recent changes to it), I read most of the forum posts on this topic and tried everything that I could: "Save-as" copy, Pack-n'-Go, save as to different directory, removed addin's etc.
