Editable Title Block

[Swarfmaker]

The new editable title block is a very worthwhile addition although I have had it crash when selecting 'Finish edit'.

What I do have trouble with though is that the 'Project Name' attribute only picks up the project name that existed when the model was constructed. In my case, to best use this attribute in the title block I had to rename the project which was done via the web link. However, whatever I do, it is always the old project name that is inserted whenever I create a new drawing.

Hi @Swarfmaker

Thanks for posting! I was able to recreate this behavior when renaming the project folder in the web browser and have logged a ticket with our development team. While the project name would update with "Refresh Attributes" (double click the title block) when I renamed in the Data Panel initially, the attribute appeared to have fully lost its link to the project name after I renamed the project in the web browser. I couldn't get it to update even after deleting and recreating the attribute.

To fix the drawing that you are currently having problems with, I think you will need to enter the project name manually.

To avoid this issue in future designs, you'll need to rename the project only in the Data Panel and not the web browser.

I've logged this issue with the development team as FDWG-10046 - we appreciate you bringing it to our attention. I did try to recreate your crash with Finish Edit, but didn't see any on my end. If you can reliably reproduce that crash, please let me know the steps and I will continue investigating.

Thanks for getting back to me with regard to the title block attribute issue. The crash on exit edit was a one-off.
