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.
