Cadence lock problem

Q:   Cadence Lock Files

A: Cadence locks files so that files are not edited by two independent copies of Cadence. However, sometimes lock files are not correctly removed. In this case you may get a message like "Couldn't get a write lock for...". If you are sure that your files are not opened on another computer using Cadence you can use the command
'find ~/ -name "*.cdslck" -exec rm {} \;'
to find and remove the offending lock files.
