I can't make my replica the Design Master.

Your replica might be in use by another operation or application and can't be opened exclusively. Wait a few minutes, and try again.

If you still can't make your replica the Design Master and haven't received another error message, your replica may be damaged. Delete the replica and create a new one. For information about deleting a replica, click .
