SheetInfo_Settings not working

Offline Zachary Billings over 7 years ago

I have been following this guide here:

I have always followed that guide and had no issues excluding folders from my Sheet Navigator. Now, for some reason, even though I have done everything correct as far as I can tell, the folders that I want to exclude keep getting Indexed.

I have tried creating a brand new xml and copying my info into the new file. Then i leave Microstation and get back in and run Sheet Navigator and it is still indexing the folders I dont want.

I have attached my SheetInfo_Settings.xml if anyone wants to take a look and let me know what I am doing wrong.

Thanks

As best I can tell, the .XML file looks correct. If you have time for a GoToMeeting, please send me an email matt.sexton@dot.state.fl.us

Matt was able to help me out. I have a folder with the "&" symbol and was trying to exclude that folder in the SheetInfo_Settings xml. Matt had logged this issue a while back and revising the name of the folder and the entry in the xml to an "_" resolved the issue.

Thanks Matt

Yes, we recommend not using special characters or spaces in file or directory names. It's a good practice to avoid potential issues in programs.
