nwfonseca Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 I have this issue where there are old title blocks in my resource browser that are no longer in the sheet borders-title blocks file folder in the system folder. It is now confusing when making changes to the current title block. My naming system is mostly to blame, but if the old ones didn't show up and just the new one it would be bit easier. Is there a way to clear the old ones from the browser? Why are they still there if I deleted them from the system folder? I was looking at the purge tool but I am worried that I will cause problems with the file. Quote Link to comment
Nicolas Goutte Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 I suppose that by "system folder" you mean where the VW has been installed (what I would call the program folder). In that case, in the resource browser, you have to use "Refresh Libraries", so that VW's caches are again synchronized. (VW does not assume that someone has changed the libraries in the program folder.) 1 Quote Link to comment
nwfonseca Posted July 30, 2018 Author Share Posted July 30, 2018 (edited) Where is that located in the browser? I can't find that option. Is there another location in the UI where that option resides? I found refresh favorites from disk is that what you are referring to? Edited July 30, 2018 by nwfonseca Quote Link to comment
nwfonseca Posted July 30, 2018 Author Share Posted July 30, 2018 whoa, my resource browser looks nothing like that. this is mine Quote Link to comment
Nicolas Goutte Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 Which VW version do you have? Quote Link to comment
nwfonseca Posted July 30, 2018 Author Share Posted July 30, 2018 2011, yes I am a bit behind in upgrading as VW no longer offers upgrade price from 2011. I am an intermittent designer for my employer and they are running 2017 and they haven't offered me a way to 2018 yet. Quote Link to comment
nwfonseca Posted July 30, 2018 Author Share Posted July 30, 2018 in any event in that image there are 4 vertical title blocks shown even though 2 of the 4 no longer exist as a file as far as I can tell. I can't find them in the "programs folder" at any rate. I can't tell if they are embedded in a file and they are being referenced from there or not. Quote Link to comment
Nicolas Goutte Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 (edited) Ah OK, if I remember well, there was no caching at that time. I must have misunderstood your case. Edited July 30, 2018 by Nicolas Goutte Quote Link to comment
Nicolas Goutte Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 Then try to delete them again from that "NMAINY" file, save the file to another place (not in a special folder) and then without VW running, replace the old file by the new file in Explorer. Does it work better after that? Quote Link to comment
nwfonseca Posted July 30, 2018 Author Share Posted July 30, 2018 "at that time" now I feel old and stupid haha. Actually, it is showing a fifth symbol called "none" and that doesn't exist either. The browser keeps showing these title block as being in the "simple title blocks file that is the default file for title blocks but those symbols aren't in the file. Quote Link to comment
Nicolas Goutte Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 That is very curious. However I have to call for others to help you, as I have no idea what might be further wrong here. Quote Link to comment
nwfonseca Posted July 30, 2018 Author Share Posted July 30, 2018 I did just find a design layer that I didn't know was there with a title block on it. that accounts for one of the title blocks. My coworker must have created that one without me knowing. That still doesn't account for the "None Symbol" or "Symbol-1" I can account for 3 of them now. but that leaves 2 mystery ones. Thanks for your help! Quote Link to comment
