Drawing cannot locate the project

[PEGAdevelopment]

I have a really sluggish drawing. When it opens, it takes forever and I noticed the command line will say:

 

 

"Command: Drawing cannot locate the project (Section 65 Data-F3A00DF4-4384-4e19-ACE3-BCB1148057DD)"

 

 

Any thoughts on how I can reestablish the project? I already tried "Set Data Shortcuts project folder" to direct it to the project folder, but it was already there.

Sounds like you're either copying a drawing from another C3D project association into your current project without re-associating, or that you're creating your ..\_Shortcuts\ folder from a template which already includes a ShortcutsHistory.xml file... Either of which will cause this.

 

Try going to Toolspace, Prospector tab, Right Click 'Data Shortcuts' node, and select 'Set Working Folder...', then navigate to the folder that is exactly two folders above your ..\_Shortcuts\ folder. That will set your working folder to your current project.

 

Now, if you continue to get the error message, then the latter above is probably the culprit, and you'll need to first delete the ..\_Shortcuts\ShortcutsHistory.xml file, and then re-establish your project shortcuts, or simply replace the GUID string with a new GUID (and re-associate your drawings, of course).
