Hi!
I have the serial number as a field in the data-card, then I use a dispatch script to rename the file(s) based on the field value. It required an extra-step, but I didn’t find a better solution. Maybe someone else could…

Re: Sheet formats and title block best practises
Hi Peter, thank you for sharing your workflow. I did in fact mention the use of blocks because, like you, I use them to port the changes between formats and then explode them. It's a shame they don't have better functionalities. I was not able to have the title block as block referenced to an extern...

Re: refresh cache during login does nothing
I have the same problem at my company; in our case the bug seems to affect only windows 11 machine but it is very inconsistent. I contacted my VAR about it. They suggested a change in the registry to enable a PDM feature that have been removed in 2019 due to performance improvement ( https://www.ja...

Re: Macro to change drawing scale move dimensions
I think I found a solution, or at least a workaround. The issue seems to be related with both Sheet::SetScale and Sheet::ReloadTemplate. Instead of SetScale I now use SetupSheet5 to set the scale and instead of ReloadTemplate I first load an empty template and then the actual one. A couple od SPR th...

I can't figure out why these macro change the position of the dimensions, and just for the base view. I though it was the <ScaleAnnoPosition> of the <SetScal...
