Missing bend notes on instance drawings?

Missing bend notes on instance drawings?

Missing bend notes on instance drawings?

(OP)
I have a large table of sheet metal parts. Drawings are set up to show bend angle and direction by using "show" and "notes". Some instances have a lot of bends (complex parts) and some instances have supressed bends (simple parts). I will save a copy of an instance drawing (simple part)to another instance part number (complex part) and replace the model with the proper model, to save detail time. I will add bend notes by using "show" to a drawing with more bends (complex part)that other instances (simple parts) do not have. (I sometimes use erase, and not delete if I go from a complex part drawings to a simple part drawing.) I can then close and open the (complex) drawing with no problems, as long as no other drawings are open. But, when I open a complex drawing and then open a simple family instance part drawing that is missing some bends, then when I go back to the complex part drawing the bend notes for those bends are missing. What can I do to save the bend notes and still use family tables for varied parts and drawings?

Found a solution. Installed datecode M180 for Wildfire 1, and the problem has not reoccured.
