Summary


Details

When running "OpenSave" on drafts, some dimensions show "Value changed" instead 
of showing the dimension value. Why?



Solution

This is working as designed and is caused by changes in the corresponding part 
or assembly. If the draft is not updated before running OpenSave - so the 
dimensions show the values before the changes in part/assembly - the user will 
be notified in the log file and by replacing the dimension value with "Value 
changed".


The user can switch to the "real" dimension value by selecting it RMB -> 
unchecking "Not to scale".


Here are a couple of workarounds that might work:


1. Using either Visual Basic, or Visual Studio, which includes Visual Basic 
open "OpenSave.vbproj" then modify (Line 1991 and below) and delete the 
manipulation of the dimension value.


The line should look like this afterwards:


' objDoc.Sheets.Item(i).Dimensions.Item(j).OverrideString = "**Value Changed**"


or


2. In OpenSave, uncheck "Update Drawing Views", and do "Update all drawing 
views" after opening the draft.
