ICAD 6.6 / 7.1 : Project directory setting...

Using Intellicad 7.1.1644.53233.P to open an existing dwg file:
  • the project path in Set Project/Data Folders is W:\rba\88\8841\
  • the current project file is W:\rba\88\8841\Carlson\Settings\8841-Design.prj
  • Use Data Folder for Settings is enabled

Close the drawing and open with Intellicad 6.6.179.0.P:
  • the project path in Set Project/Data Folders is W:\rba\88\8841\
  • the current project file is W:\rba\88\8841\Carlson\Settings\8841-Design.prj
  • Use Data Folder for Settings is enabled
  • Open project explorer : File | Project | Project Explorer and no drawings are found since the path displayed for the files in the project explorer appear to be based on the  project file location (W:\rba\88\8841\Carlson\Settings\) instead of the project directory (W:\rba\88\8841\)
  • close project explorer
  • now the project path in Set Project/Data Folders is W:\rba\88\8841\Carlson\Settings\

  1. I am having several issues with Project/Drawing explorer. I find that the settings are changed when some operations are executed. I have been using the roads routines and at times I have to reselect the folder for a file already created. If I go into into drawing explorer some of the folders are incorrect and have to be changed. This can happen 3 or 4 times in an afternoon.

  2. I am pretty certain the problem is related to the variable DWGPREFIX. This the incorrect address preceding all my incorrect addresses.

    It is a very significant issue, particularly in the Roads routines. I have little confidence in the results being obtained because of this problem. I have instances where after running Process Road Network I am asked to update an unrelated profile. So the addressing is really astray somewhere and DWGPREFIX is my prime suspect. I have design to complete in ten days It would be nice to have the certainty that my design is consistent.
