AutoCAD Electrical 2015 Title Block Update Issue

[zz1rvp]

Installed AcadE 2015 yesterday, and opened a project created in 2014.  Modified some project descriptions and drawing descriptions, which are mapped to my title block.  Performed a title block update on the active drawing, and not all the attributes were updated.  Well, let me clarify.  I have the same attribute in 2 locations on the title block, and only 1 of them updated.  This happened for each of 2 attributes that have a duplicate on the title block.

I closed 2015, opened the same project/file in 2014, and verified that all instances of each attribute update correctly when a title block update is performed.

Anyone else having this problem?  Did I find a bug with 2015?

Thanks.

Hi zz1rvp,

Is it possible to attach a sample project with a drawing to illustrate the problem you encountered? Along with that, it will be helpful if you can share some information about which attribute is not updated in 2015 but updated in 2014.

Sorry for the delayed reply, I've been out of office.

Attached is a drawing, with the related project files and title block mapping file.

On this title block, there are 2 attributes mapped to Project description Line 1, one in the upper left corner of the title block, and the other in the lower right corner of the title block (WD-xxxxx).  Also, 2 attributes are mapped to project description Line 6, under "USED ON" AND "TOOL NAME" in the lower right of the title block.   Also, 2 attributes are mapped to drawing properties Description 2, one at the top center of the title block, and the other in the lower right just above "PRODUCT CODE".  When I modifiy the project descriptions, and perform a title block update, only 1 occurance of each of these attributes will be updated on the title block, and the second occurance is left as it was.  This problem is only occuring in AcadE 2015.

Thanks.

I just posted this http://forums.autodesk.com/t5/AutoCAD-Electrical-General/Title-Block-Update/td-p/4962652 and then found your post.

So yes I am having the same issue also.

Hi zz1rvp,

Thanks for your sample project. I can reproduce the problem from my end and add this into our issue system.

Just to confirm with you that if you have used "OK Active Drawing Only" in title block update when you see this problem? 

Currently I can see there is one workaround:

If you have not hit this problem, you can choose to use "OK Project-Wide" in title block update. It should update all the attribute map to same vaule.

If you have already hit this problem (some attribtues are not updated), you may need to change the value you want to update, then trigger "OK Project-Wide" update again to get all attribute updated correctly.

Sorry for the inconvinience caused. Please let me know if you have more questions.

Yes, I was only doing an "Active Drawing Only" title block update.

Thanks for the workaround, and thanks for entering the issue into your system.

Hi Tee.Dee,

Could you please install the latest Service Pack for ACE 2015, this service pack should have the fix for this issue.

Service pack installed, problem fixed, thanks!

What made me think this issue was still there was actually another problem where after renumbering a sheet and doing a title block update, it is holding onto the old value. Restarting autocad fixes the problem.
