Equation file reverting to old version?
Posted: Wed Aug 17, 2022 12:19 pm
I don't know if this is a bug or is something I'm doing wrong.
I'm working on a staircase project - with a moderate number of files and subassemblies (<20). Several parts & assemblies use a common "equations.txt" file for common variables like handrail height, stringer pitch etc. This project has evolved over several generations, with each new version created with "Pack-and-Go" Command in "V1,V2, etc" folders which do not reference each other. And I'm aware of the "bug" where Pack-and-Go will sometimes forget to link new folder's parts, assy's to the new equations.txt; I always check for that problem first.
I just started working on the project for the day, made a new part file, and linked it to the equations.txt file, but it looked like the equations file had reverted (overnight? IDK) to a much smaller version that has not been relevant for days. Luckily its not a hard problem to fix, with Dropbox I can just restore the file from last night easy peasy.
But is this a bug anyone else is familiar with? If not then it's probably something I'm doing.

Thanks!
