Just upgraded from 13 to 18.

Having a problem with the model view options. In a couple of jobs now we have have the model view option combinations disappear when we are reopening jobs.

Running AC 18 7007aus

See attached image. The model view combinations keeps reverting to the default settings.

Is no one else having this problem?

I have several files now that are losing the model view settings.

Did you redefine the views after changing the model view options to what you now want them to be?

Yes. After setting the model view options i clicked stored as and set the name.
I have then set the model view option for the clone folder for the sketch floor plans.
When reopening the job settings for the clone folder shows the model view option missing as per my screenshot.

So you are redefining the MVO for the clone folder.
Is this happening only in this file or all your files?
Did you try a New and Reset?

I have just tried a new and reset. It did not fix the MVO problem.

It may be a problem with this file as it is also the one that is having the resetting Project North problem from my other post.

Did you try modify the 13 MVOs or create new ones?
If you modified them, try creating new MVOs.
Are you still using AC13 library parts or did you replace them with your AC18 ones?

You mentioned that this is happening on several projects. Are these all the projects that originated in 13(or earlier) or just some of them? If just some, what other commonalities are there in the projects where you are experiencing this problem?
