MX SS4 "Create Civil Rules" when Importing from Active MX Model

Hi,

We build our corridors using MX data only and we've observed that people forgot to tick "Create Civil Rules" off. The upshot of importing alignments with the option ticked on is alignments are deleted from model.fil. It's undesirable as we edit our alignments in native MX therefore we are looking for a way to keep this option ticked off by default. I looked for a variable but couldn't find anything.

Is there a way to keep this option unticked by default? If no, can we have variable to control this? 

Thank you.

Regards,
Krzysztof

  • Krzysztof,

    The "Create Civil Rules" option should not delete alignments from the MX model file. I've checked with a colleague, and we haven't seen this behaviour.

    The only way we can think of to cause strings to be deleted is if you have an alignment displayed, then you delete or drop it, and the setting to delete an MX string from the model file on drop or delete is checked on. This setting is on the Data Conversion tab in MX > View > Configuration.

    If this suggestion doesn't help, then you might want to log a Service Request.

    Regards,
