2021 Title Block Manager causes beach ball


CarlosMPA

Question

Is anyone else having an issue with the Title Block Manager in 2021?

 

I can't seem to add an Issue Date to multiple sheets. It beach balls every time until I force quit.

Even if I only select a single "sheet to use" within the Manager

 

However, I can add it to a single sheet with no problems at all if I select the Edit Border settings.

It's happened on multiple files that where previously 2020 and opened in 2021.

Hello @CarlosMPA,

 

Could you send me a test file which shows this issue? I have tested this out with a new document and did not have any problems.

 

Thanks,

Hello Nikolay

 

this keeps getting stranger. I opened up the file and deleted everything except for the title block and the the TB Manager worked without an issue.

Same file, delete all the Design Layer elements and the TB works.

 

I'll send you a test file that I did manage to get the error on. I'll send it to you in a Message, for some reason my files are very large sizes for a simple file.

Hello @CarlosMPA,

 

I have investigated this and I am not really sure if the TBB is the root of the problem. I will keep digging in to see what is the cause and fix it.

 

In the meantime, do you open the TBManager from the TBB's OIP button? If so, try opening the manager from the menu command (File->Title Block Manager...). It seems like that way the hang is not showing up.

 

Best Regards,

Nikolay Zhelyazkov

Thanks for looking into this. I have tried both double clicking the TB object and selecting TB Manager, and clicking on the OIP TBManager button. with the same hanging crash.

 

However I just tried to go File - TBManager and you are correct, that does not cause the crash.

I'll keep trying this on my end with different files.

 

Thanks Again.

Carlos
