Did Sp 3.0 mess with custom propeties filling in title blocks?  

We are having title blocks not filling in completely. The custom propeties are there at the part and assy level but not filling in the title block in our drawings the "text box" is blank.  if we open an old drawing (pre sp 3.0) all is fine and fills in correctly. But creating a new drawing gives us these problems.  

Our VAR thought it was unrelated to sp 3.0. Wanted to check here before we roll back or upgrade to sp 3.1.

Thanks.

RE: SW 07 Sp3.0

grunt58,
I was just looking to upgrade to SP 3.1 and this very minute and ran across your thread. Actually, I was going to post a thread to see how SP 3.1 is working for everyone. We are running across issues with SP 2.2 with graphics on drawings.

I guess I'm going to wait to see what happens to your post before I move forward. Your issue seem to have a big impact on my upgrade.

Regards,

Colin

RE: SW 07 Sp3.0

Grant,
I would suggest looking at your templates to see if some properties got changed. I do not thing sp3.1 has anything to do with this issue. We are running sp3.1 without any title block issues. Other than the one our administrator caused.

Just realized it was a change we made to the custom propeties text file that was the problem.

So Macduff our problem had nothing to do with SP3.0 or 3.1.
Just the fact that the text file was updated and the template wasn't.

Thanks all,
