saving dra file, creating psm file

PhilH

I started a new job a few months ago and I've noticed some oddities in the behavior of the symbol editor.

At my previous job, when I edited a dra file and clicked on the save icon, it would save the psm file automatically.

At my new job, I have to go to the menu and click "create symbol" to update the psm file.

I can't seem to find anything in the user preferences that would initiate the "auto save psm" after editing the dra.

Anyone know what the difference may be?

    FYI - I am using 16.6 at my new job and at my previous job. Only difference is we have the high speed option at my new job.

    Check in your user preferences that the Drawing > no_symbol_onsave is unchecked.

    Well, I guess I looked right over that setting. Thanks
