Parts disappear when importing new part?

Post by Tristar500 »

I've got a sheet partially filled and when I attempt to add an additional part one of the existing parts just vanishes.
???
I can get back to where I started by closing (and not saving) then open the job again.

Tried restarting SheetCam and a reboot of computer.


I'm using the latest version 7.0.21

Notice square part in upper corner is gone when new part is added (new part in lower left corner)

What is the name of your new part? The parts list is the same in both pictures. Are you accidentally importing a drawing into an existing part instead of creating a new part?

Djreiswig - you may be right. Perhaps he mistakenly clicked on "Import drawing" instead of "New part". That will sometimes have the effect of deleting one of the other parts when the new drawing is imported. The fix is to only "Import drawing" once, then use "New part" to add parts to the existing drawing.
I'm not sure why he as the red "X" indicating an error. If he would hover his mouse pointer over the red "X" - the actual error message should be displayed.
