Prosteel V8i SS5 for AutoCAD
Hello!
I was tasked with investigating RWA files as a tool for interdiscipline referencing and composite model creation. As part of the test, I loaded AP Piping on a Prosteel model so I could access the RWA tools and add it to the RWA record. When I went back to prosteel, all toolbars and workspace customization in AutoCAD had been completely lost. If you test this you should make sure to make some modifications to your workspace by loading toolbars etc.
I'm not sure what is causing this, as they are completely seperate profiles and CUI files?? Anyway, I thought it should be reported. It would be good if the RWA tools were enhanced to accomodate Prosteel. Thanks for your help!
P.S. I also discovered that this particular error goes both ways. If a Prosteel user loads AutoPLANT Piping etc. their toolbars etc will be lost on going back to Prosteel. Also, if an AutoPLANT user uses Prosteel then goes back to AutoPLANT it will remove all AutoPLANT workspace customization.
