Hi Everyone,
We have been having an issue with the TD_1 attribute for components. Values in this field reset to various number values at seemingly random points in a project. This bug has been confirmed in 2017 SP0-SP4 but resolved in 2018. Has anyone else been running into this issue? Is there anything that can be done to avoid having these values overwritten? This field corresponds with the manufacturer data "current rating" for most classes so I imagine others are using this attribute as well.
Thanks for the help,
Andrew
Andrew, I experienced the same with TD1 getting random overwrites. The only method I found (there was no magic bullet) was to go to the individual component in a project, go to the part properties assigned to component, rewrite the value and have it update the catalog entry.
If you had added discreet differing values per component (aside from what is on the part in your library) you'd need to re-enter those for each component. If it is just a matter of the component needing a refresh from the part's library, update one instance in the design, then update catalog when it asks, and You may need to then Process>update data.
Repeat and rinse for each violated part, and you may need to repeat per project by pushing the process>update data.
