Simvision doesn't always save waveform formatting

Hello,


 I'm running into a very frustrating issue/bug w/ the waveform viewer in Simvision where the waveform display formatting is not always saved to the svcf file when the "save command script" command is used.


Under the advanced option box I make sure to check the preferences box to save waveform formatting but when I open the .svcf file and view it, the -color and -namecolor fields are not always saved.


The problem does not happen consistently and it does not do it for all the waveforms in the viewer but when it does it is very difficult to get the tool not to keep doing it.  Shutting the tool down and restarting does not help.  I feel like there is some other option or something I have enabled that prevents the formatting save for certain signals but I can't figure it out and I'm tired of formatting my signals the way I need to only to have the formatting work lost when the script is saved.


Any help would be greatly appreciated.

thanks

    This tool is literally changing the .svcf file for no reason. I can load a file with the waveforms colored, it removes the coloring in the display, and if I do nothing but save out a new script, the wave formatting is removed.

    WTF
