Editing Locked

Editing Locked

Hi! Brand new to CMM Manager (background is in Calypso and Polyworks). There is one other programmer at my company who has been working with CMM Manager for several years. He has never been able to edit features.

I'm in teach mode, but the edit features button in the ribbon is greyed out. When I open a feature, I am unable to make any edits. If I try to click on any check boxes, it tells me the interface is locked. 

I haven't been able to figure out how to turn edit features on. Is there a setting I'm missing somewhere?
