Drawing Favorites Bug?

Laura Yanoviak — Thu, 18 Oct 2007 18:29:59 GMT

I cannot save Drawing settings with `No Title` as a Favorite. If I workaround this (by copying an existing Favorite and redefining without the title) it becomes grayed-out. Surely this is not intentional?

I can't save the favorite from the settings box either, but, I can by alt/clicking on a placed drawing and then in the favorites pallette box saving current settings.

I can take these steps, and technically the Favorite is saved, but it is grayed out and cannot be applied to an existing Drawing.

Laura,
I am not having that problem. I can select and apply the favorite; mine is not grayed out.

OK -- I will restart and try again...

Laura,
By any chance did you try to redefine these favorites?

After my last post trying to replicate your problem I did that and then that favorite was grayed out. I ended up having to delete it and make a new one.

Or did rebooting bring it back to life?

Well, the reboot did nothing.

When I set the Drawing parameters to include a drawing title, I can create a Favorite. When I set the Title to "No Title" and goto the Favorites dialog from within the Drawing dialog, the "Save Current Settings as Favorite" button is grayed (as in my screen shot, above). The only way I can save a Drawing Favorite without a drawing title is to redefine an existing Favorite (but then the redefined Favorite is grayed out in the Favorite Palette).

I'm also having a problem with Zoom Options within the Layout Book not responding, so perhaps there is something wrong with my installation (unless someone can verify whether or not this is yet another bug).

It has been several months, but when I was defining new favorites, I was getting better results... meaning it worked.. by saving via the tool info box, not through the favorite pallet.

FYI: I've reinstalled AC and I'm still having the Drawing Favorites problem, as well as the Zoom Options issue, so it looks like I'll be reporting to Tech Support...

I think I have a related issue. I have various elements in my Favorites pallete that i can no longer use because they are grayed out. Why is that? Is there a possible fix?

Thanks!

This is usually due to missing Library Objects.
