Rebuild Database not working,

AutoCAD_Oozer — Wed, 13 Nov 2019 19:45:45 GMT

I am working in Autocad Electrical 2017 on windows 10, I have been rolling along in a project with no problems, however now I am having issues rebuilding database as well

When I add new terminals, cable markers whatever, they do not show up when I try to add them on different pages. Like ACADE does not even know that they are in the project.

I have to close the software and re open it whenever i want items to show up.

My company uses dropbox as the file server for our ACAD database stuff.

Unless you have gigabit speeds to dropbox I would not even attempt sharing database info over a wan. We have eight people on a lan and it's slow sometimes.

Hello,

I am having similar issues, I use ACADE 2014 and we haven't changed anything, I only noticed the issue last week. Wire numbers get repeated, source/destination arrow references list are blank or get replaced with question marks if refreshed. I too have discovered that closing and re-opening seems to restore normal behavior but it is irritating and inefficient.

I am googling for a solution right now and read something about a recent update to Microsoft Access that can cause issues. Does anyone at Autodesk have anything to offer?

Here is a response from Robin at Autodesk Inc. I got after I sent in a half dozen crash reports due to the most recent Microsoft update.
