Can't save in a drawing Summary Information table!

Erich Krug Oct 24, 2015 12:38 PM

Has anyone noticed that if you click on File > Properties while in a drawing, the Summary Information Table does not have a save button! So, if you want to make changes, for example add a PartNo., you can add it but there is no way to save it! It seems SolidWorks does not automatically save any changes you make to this table. How do I fix this? Seems like a bug in 2016.

There was never a save button but you simply click on OK to apply the changes. Works fine for me.

Are you doing the same steps as in attached video?

  The problem is mine does not have the OK, Cancel, or Help buttons on the lower right of the window.

    Can you try to reset registry Or reinstall SOLIDWORKS?

What do you mean by "reset registry"?

        Ok. I solved this problem. Ity turns out that it was an issue with my custom drawing template. Once I recreated it, my buttons came back.
