    In SW can more than one user work on an assembly file and a part file
    at the
    same time?.

    Yes, but the last one to save wins!

    The FILE/RELOAD command is very handy as is having the options OPEN
    REFERENCED DOCS READONLY and DON'T PROMPT TO SAVE READ ONLY DOCUMENTS.
    You check the first so as not to lock everyone out of documents you
    are not intending to change and you check the second to prevent
    overwriting others work and keep you out of SAVEAS hell. The discipline
    part is that you have to remember to uncheck READONLY in the RELOAD
    command and then reload the document before changing anything in the
    document. And of course you have to remember not to change a document
    that is read only.
