Document Properties-Revision Blocks

(OP)
Good Morning All,
I'm noticing every time I make an adjustment to the Tools, Options, Document Properties it tweaks my revision history table in our drawings. Yes, I do have Drafting Standards and Revision Tables saved, but believe it's a bug in the software. This has always been a problem with SW tables as far as BOM's and Revisions. It seems anytime you make any kind of modification (to my saved tables), it wants automatically adjust on its own. I reported this to SW time and time again, but never gets fixed.

Thanks,

RE: Document Properties-Revision Blocks

I've never experienced that problem.

Are the "tweaks" you mention?

The tweaks are resizing to some kind of SW default. We do not use the out of the box SW tables. We resize according to our needs as far as fonts, cell heights, and widths. It does let us save them to a file per our modifications, but when we reuse them and modify accordingly, they become unstable, and resize on there own.

Thanks CBL,

Matt,
It's not crashing SW, just resizing on it's own when modified.

Best,
