Problem! Open drawing, views replaced by crossed boxes!
Problem! Open drawing, views replaced by crossed boxes!
(OP)
I've just opened a drawing, which was sent to a client a week ago and was fine (showing four views of a part) to find that all my views are now just dashed boxes with a cross through! What has gone wrong?! Part is in the same folder as before (all parts and drawings are in one folder) and although I did re-name before sending to the client, I thought I'd done it through SW, not just windows.
Help required asap! Thanks guys!

Also in SWE you can make a copy of the dwg and point to another model.

I don't believe this results in X'ed out views. The intent is to maintain all the views and just disassociate the model... maybe for really large models or something... never really found a use for them.

I love the fact that after using SW for over a year continuously, and on/off before that, I'm still finding new and often better ways to do things.
