CarlosMPA Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 (edited) 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. Edited September 29, 2020 by CarlosMPA Quote Link to comment

I have tested this out with a new document and did not have any problems. Thanks, Nikolay Zhelyazkov Quote Link to comment

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. 1 Quote Link to comment
0 Pat Stanford Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 There was another thread this week about large file sizes. In that case the user somehow got 18,000 copies of their North Arrow in the drawing. Try Tools:Purge and then select the Coincident Duplicate Objects option at the bottom of the right hand column. See if that helps your drawing size and issue. 1 Quote Link to comment
0 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Nikolay Zhelyazkov Posted October 1, 2020 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted October 1, 2020 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 1 Quote Link to comment

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 1 Quote Link to comment

Question
CarlosMPA
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.
