Reference Manager Time Travel?

[mico5]

I noticed changes in my base file aren't propagating into my plot sheet - new layers aren't appearing and such. Xref's are attached.

So I ran purge and audit and found two objects CAD erased. Tried again to reload the xref but still no change.

So I detached the file and re-attached. Here, I noticed the time stamp on the base file *in the Xref Manager attachment dialogue* is from earlier in the afternoon. However *Mac Finder* shows the file saved more than four hours later.

So save, close and restart.

Try again, no luck.

Try just starting a new plot sheet from scratch. Same problem. It's as if the cache is stuck somewhere (?), but I've restarted three times now.

Is there a system variable that would cause this behavior that may have accidentally toggled? I'm at a loss.

Hi,

On screenshots you provided I can see that you are selecting different files.

On the first screenshot the file 1702_LB-01.DWG is inside
.../1702-2240 Market St./DRAWINGS/AUTOCAD folder.

But on the second screenshot the file with the same name 1702_LB-01.DWG is inside
.../1702-2240 Market St./AUTOCAD folder.

Maxim, thanks for catching this! There were two directories in the working folder and I couldn't see it - problem solved.

My hopes were elevated but it's just a file pathing issue and not actual time travel. 😕 Oh well, back to work.

Thanks again and here's hoping my next post is a good one.
