Hi all,
We recently updated to OBD U8 on the project, but we have hundreds if not thousands of files from previous stages of the project that were developed with ABD/MS.
Is there a way to disable the Prostructures update prompt on open of a file?
It's causing issues with any batch process we want to run with old files, as there needs to be a user clicking cancel on the prompt every time the batch process opens a new file.
Thanks,
Enrique
Hello Enrique,
The prompt is coming to notify you that there are legacy structural sections that needs to be converted to PS elements. If you don't want to use PS elements then to toggle the legacy mode, you need to add an configuration variable BB_STRUCTURAL_LEGACY_ENABLE = 1 in any of the prefered cfg file. Please refer to this wiki for more. I hope this helps you.

Thanks, Alifur. That did the trick.
hm - that didn't help for me.
I got the following message and still have the pop up/Thomas

Hello Thomas,
Interesting, The PS dialog and all these messages should go away once that variable is put in one of the CFG files. Can you please raise an SR so that we can have a live meeting and see why it is happening.
OK, I'll do that in a few days.
