A Content Change Message Appears When Opening a Drawing Template

By creating a drawing frame template in CAXA Draft and registering it for standard use, you can quickly create drawings using the same template.

If the drawing frame used in the template has a history of projecting 3D data, a drawing update message may appear even when opening a new file.

Cause:

The template file contains a link to 3D data.

Click [Edit Links] in the [3D Interface] tab.
If a file name is displayed, the template still contains a link to a 3D file.

Solution:

[1] Open the Frame template, enclose the entire frame with the mouse, and select everything.

[2] Click [Explode] in the [3D Interface] tab.

[3] Click [Edit Links] in the [3D Interface] tab again and confirm that no links remain.

[4] Create the template.
