Problem with 16.0 Create Detail

archive
archive over 17 years ago

I've updated my system to 16.0 and was running 16.00.005 making changes to a design I had originally created in 15.7. When I tried to run the Create Detail command to create an assembly drawing I got an error, but for some reason I didn't get the error when I ran it with Detail as the active subclass. I found another hotfix and updated to 16.00.007. Now the Create Detail command appears to be completely broken. I get "*Error* eval: unbound variable - dtl_miniForm". I've tried multiple databases just to be sure and it's just not working on anything. Can I at least back out the hotfix somehow? Anyone else hit this wall yet?

    There are two problems. The original problem in s013 was that it would only allow you to create a detail on the Manufacturing -> Detail Subclass. I reported that problem. It was supposed to be fixed in hotfix .007. However instead of fixing the problem, hotfix .007(version 16.0 s023(v16-0-87AG)) made it worse so create detail no longer functions at all. It now returns, *Error* eval: unbound variable - dtl_miniForm. This 2nd more severe problem has also been reported. I believe it has a P0 priority so it will hopefully be fixed in the near future.
