Chilidawg Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 We finally upgraded to 2017. before that, I had 2012 on my main box, with 2014 available at another work station. Still trying get some of the bells and whistles the way I like them. I have a couple of questions. 1) In 2017, the External References manager always shows the status of data links as "Needs reloading." updating the link doesn't change that. Is this a bug or a feature? it all seems to work OK, so it's little more than an aesthetic annoyance, I guess. 2) The appearance of the bottom layout tab bar and status bar changes depending on whether I am in model space, or paper space. I like the full layout tab bar that I get when I am in model space. is it possible to lock that down so that the layout tabs stay on one bar, and the status bar is below it?

RobDraw Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 1) Not a bug. Sounds like a timestamp thing. Try resaving the links and reload again. 2) Pics? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halam Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 1) probably a bug. I prefer using the classics command. Same bugs there? 2) don't know .. search setvars? I really like 2017 because it is so much faster with visuals styles,..if you work 3D . Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkent Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 #2 - The icons shown are relevant to each space, certain ones that show in MS would make no sense in PS. I too would prefer it to stay steady, but I also wanted the choice between icons and the letters like we had a few releases ago. I still haven't memorized what those cryptic little icons mean, they are inconsistent in design, hard to tell when some of them are on or off.
