I have not noticed this prior to the .722 release and can't confirm that is the cause, but here is my situation:Upon opening a file more than once a second set of survey settings is being created but not with my custom settings, and it can't be deleted. (See SurveySettings.jpg)I am using a copy of the Civil Workspace that has been slightly modified to point to our files and where a few of our preferences differ from the delivered workspace. Here is my workflow:1. Create new file from Civil Workspace-delivered seed.2. Drag Survey file into the Survey tab (Trimble DC file)3. Survey fieldbook appears to have been created.4. Under Civil Standards, Project Settings, Survey, a "MFLD Settings" entry has been created from our DGNLIB.5. Exit MS.6. Reopen MS to this same file.7. Notice a duplicate "MFLD Settings1" has been created, but it does not contain the same settings as the original, but rather it appears to have the default workspace settings.I am not able to delete the duplicate (default) MFLD Settings1, and it appears to impact further manipulation of the survey file.
I checked all of the files mentioned in MS_DGNLIBLIST and the only one that has any SurveyProjectSettings is my custom Mfld_Survey_Feature_Definitions.dgnlib.Why is a duplicate,default settings file being added to my files, and where does it come from? Can I safely work with this survey file?
Thanks.MS v08.11.09.608GPK v08.11.09.722

Can I safely continue working with this file? Will the data still be accurate? What effects does this defect have on current files?
yes, it seems as if you should be fine continuing on.
