Multi- Sheets not showing up In edrawings viewer
(OP)
thread559-160908
I was given this thread by a customer of mine I wanted to point out there is an answer to this because the bug was fixed in SW06 SP5.0. That does not mean that it makes all your problems go away. It just means it won't happen anymore.
[quote]If you have PDMworks make sure that ALL the files in the vault have been updated to the latest Version. If not, then they need to be and you can do that through Task Scheduler.
Also that when you open or sometimes close a file you will get a menu. That Menu is one of the longest ones in SW menus. It talks about "Views needing updated if you want to update the views select "YES" if you select "NO" then they will not be updated..." etc... It may not read word for word like this, but its a very long menu. I call it the paragraph menu. If you select "NO" or "CANCEL" to that menu, your multi-sheets will not be updated. Hence why some of you are seeing your drawings not showing all the info. Also in these drawing if you open them up in SW you may see an hour glass shape (see attached image of one of your drawings for Icon clarification) over top the icons of the drawing. If you see that, that means the Drawing sheet has not updated in each of the sheets of the drawing. It's very important that when you open and save a file that these Icons are not present. If they are, your views will not show up in a viewer. It might require you to physically open up the file and select each sheet and update the sheets and save the file or Ctrl-Q the sheet and save. You have to double check for that icon, because if you see it, then that sheet will not show up in Edrawings or any other viewer. This SPR was fixed in SW06 SP5.0. So it will not happen again, but that fix does not fix the files that are already seeing this issue.
