  • DataCAD 18 • Re: Retrieving Backup files - error message & don't have pe September 24, 2021
    I would guess it's a Windows user/owner permission setting on the folder or the drive where the backups are stored that is causing all of the issues. First question, what method did you use to create the backup files? Did you use a backup program or script something to copy the files to the drive […]

    Hi Neil,The command prompt method still works on Windows 10 21H1, as I use it all the time. You might need to check some network and share settings on both systems.

    Think I found it. On the Misc Tab under Current Plot Scale, I unchecked "Saved with Go to views" and it is back to the default behavior I'm used to. Not sure how it got changed.Statistics: Posted by Aaron Ben-Avraham — Fri Sep 24, 2021 4:15 pm

    Not sure what is happening. Every time I use Go to View, my previous plot scale keeps resetting. I am having a brain freeze and not sure what to do to stop this behavior or where to begin to look. Please help jog my memory on what is causing this. It only recently stated happening.ThanksStatistics: […]

    Josh, that is excellent! Thanks!The first method you mention *used* to be the way I have always done it - but now it seems we are not able to, any more.Statistics: Posted by Neil Blanchard — Fri Sep 24, 2021 9:36 am

  • DataCAD 22 • Re: Selection window not working correctly September 24, 2021
    It sounds like you may have the option toggled on, that automatically toggles on Crossing when you draw it starting at the lower right, going to the upper left? If you draw it from the upper left, to the lower right, it is normal.Statistics: Posted by Neil Blanchard — Fri Sep 24, 2021 9:32 am
