Drawing Formats

[Speedy]

Guys,

I posted this problem before, please see thread554-146326. I still haven't resolved it. It's an ongoing 'pain in the @~'#'.

I basically have a problem with loading formats. Enteties created with the sketch tool are lost when I re-open a drawing. These were loading fine initially. The table entities and text within are fine when re-opened.

Any suggestions welcome. I have tried alll the suggestions in the initial format.
I'm loosing the Third Angle Symbol which is the biggest issue. If I re-load the format, everything comes back in.
i.e File / page set up.

Any suggestion welcome.

Speedy

Can you post one of the (what version) formats somewhere?
Examining and trying to use one may help.

it still sounds like the directory path is having a hiccup. double check for any conflicting entries, spaces in the path, maybe another config in the startup sequence. do you have any old formats that *do* work? personally, i keep most of these options (company standards) in the config.sup to prevent modification.

and yes, FORMAT_SETUP_FILE is a .dtl specific for the creation of formats in format mode.
