All sheet metal rules GONE

Hi,

Haven't done any sheet metal for a bit, just started a project and found that all of my sheet metal rules have disappeared.

I assume that happened during the latest update.

I had created rules for all of the gauges of steel, stainless, and aluminum available in the US.

All gone. What the.....

I do not know how to get them all back at once but if you have saved sheet metal files this Blog Article and Video will help you "glean" them from the file to repopulate your library. Once you have your replacement library, you can create a recovery file using the same method.

Thanks for taking the time to reply, but that really doesn't make much of a dent in the amount of work I have to do to recreate all of my sheet metal rules.

I'm pretty annoyed that the update was that sloppy and concerned about what else I may lose in the future. As a cloud based system, it's imperative that data integrity be maintained by Autodesk, since it is out of the users' hands.
