Update drawing view, but NOTHING changed. WHY?

Bram Piters Jan 23, 2018 6:10 AM

Hello All,

I'm searching for a solution for just saving my drawing/part/assembly as it is, but...when I close my drawing and reopen it, it will ask me to rebuild the flat pattern view. Is there a way to figure out what exactly has changed in this view? Is it because it is a flat pattern?

Please let me know, it driving me crazy!

Best Regards,

Bram

In system options turn on "Use specified color for changing drawing dimensions on open" under colors

  Hi Todd,
  
  Thanks for your reply but I think you didn't understand the question. It is about the change that I didn't do and I want to know what solidworks is changing in the part.

Maybe you can attach your file here so that others can verify if this is a common issue.

    Bram Piters,
    I recently ran into issues that others couldn't replicate. My VAR believed I had a bad installation. They had me do a "clean install" and I haven't had the problems since. I am not saying that is your problem, here. But, if others are downloading your files and can't replicate your issue, it is very difficult to diagnose the problem.
    I recommend you reach out to your VAR, if you are on subscription. They can web session into your computer and find the issue. If you do, and they fix your problem, please post back here what they find.

Bram, all is good here. I do not get any messages regarding a flat pattern rebuild and cannot replicate your issue.

Currently running SW 2017 SP-2.0
