Wrong drawing numbers on drawings.

Hi,

I have been using Advance steel for 4 years now and I am having a new problem.

Since I started the Advance steel this morning most of the drawings in my document manager have wrong drawing numbers. I tried force update and it fixed them if I did one by one, but then the program crashed while I was doing that and now that method doesn't work at all. So I had to delete all my drawings and start again as it would not allow me to rename the drawings. Is this a common problem? I cannot have this happening, spending hours to go through, check and fix every drawing once is bad enough, now I am having to worry that I am wasting my time and will have to do the same thing all over again.

Edit: It has happened again just now, drawings I already fixed now have wrong numbers again, see screenshot below.

Seeing as nobody has a solution to this bug. I had to save as new drawing name and make all new drawings again if anyone else has this problem. The numbering problem didn't come back since.

Last week I had the same problem.

This happened because I had all the drawings generated, after that I made changes to the model, and by mistake I didn't do the numbering.

So I deleted the generated drawing, made the model numbering and generated the drawing again. Everything turned out fine

With my problem, there was no changes to the model and all numbering was completed. My main problem with this was that it took me a day to go through those drawings and correct them, I was trying to avoid regenerating the drawings so I wouldn't lose a days work.
