Trouble Updating Cable Numbering Systems

Recommended Posts

I am trying to create a new numbering system to match my company's standard. Whenever I finish and hit "OK", I get a popup saying "Number systems file not updated." Then when I open the settings again, all of my changes to the Numbering tab have vanished. Has anyone else encountered this?

 

P.S. I am in v2021 on a Windows machine.

It seems that I have solved my own problem. Once I attempted to edit the "Numbering" XML file in the "connectCAD_Data" folder and had to enter admin credentials in order to save the changes that I made, I was able to successfully edit numbering systems within the program.

Hello @Ian5100,

 

Correct. This message would appear if your numbering system file is not writable. You have made your file writable and that is why everything works as expected now.
