Hello!
When using Watercad for Autcad, we've run into a problem a few times and I haven't been able to figure out just what is going on, or if there is a good way to recover from it. I've searched the forums and internet but haven't found anything yet.
On a few projects we've run into an error where the pipes seem to go from their end nodes to the drawing origin (see attached screen shot). I think this happens when the user is a little impatient with opening and closing models.
I believe this has to do with how Watercad communicates with AutoCAD because the model still works, pipes maintain their properties (even length), and it looks and operates normally in the standalone version of WaterCAD. But graphically it is ruined in watercad for autocad, and is just a big pain in general.
We have tried all kinds of tricks to save the drawing but nothing has worked. We have always rebuilt a new dwg file using the model database. Unfortunately, this can be very time consuming. Of course, this problem only occurs hours before a submittal.
Any thoughts on what is happening, how to prevent this, or how to recover without recreating the .dwg?
Thanks in advance!
