Draftlist.txt from V19 to ST3

[natebott]

We are looking to make the move from V19 to ST3. I am in the process of piloting the draft templates and I cannot get the parts list to be locked to anchor. My draftlist file is V19, and which did not have a check box for "Enable Predefined Origin for Placement" on the General tab of the Parts list properties box. How do I make it so my draftlist is capable of locking this feature on. We do want it to have a predefined origin.

Because of the extensive changes to the tables features in ST3, you can use your existing Draftlist.txt as a starting point, but you will have to go through each saved PL, update all the settings, and then resave it.

When we moved to ST3 from v20 we ended up spending quite a bit of time updating the settings to get our parts lists correct. You may actually want to start out with the out-of-the-box settings and just recreate your standard PLs.

Do you know the syntax that references that setting? I guess that is all I am really looking for. I have already overwritten the out of the box ST3 draftlist with the one on our server (V19) so I don't have the base settings to work off of. IT is telling me the only way to get them back is to re-install edge, which I don't want to do if at all possible.

Thanks,
Nate

Thank you Scott. Looks like I was looking for USEPREDEFINEDORIGIN=1.

Does somebody know how to change the line thickness of the automatically generated Parts list? I have tried to edit the table in "styles" tab but there is now tab voor linewidth or what so ever.

thx
