I have created a file in 2018 which uses our company title block. I have exported the file to a VW2017 file so that my boss can continue to work on the file in 2017, now that I've finished my tasks. However, when he tries to edit the title block (which I could edit fine in 2018), he gets a message saying "The selected object has no edit behavior". VW2017 recognizes the object as a "Title Block Border", like it does for me in VW2018, so why would he not be able to edit it?
If I open the VW2017 file in VW2018, once it has opened and converted the file to VW2018, I can edit the title block fine again. Presumably one of the purposes of exporting to VW2017 from 2018 is to ensure that VW2017 is able to manipulate the file, including the title block?
I've noticed too that if I create a brand new document in VW2018 using our template, the title block is now referred to as a "Sheet Border" rather than a Title Block Border. This appears to export file to VW2017 so why would this one file have somehow changed itself to a Title Block Border and become locked when exporting to VW2017?
