1.8.22 Dot Sheet Removal Fix??

Post by heatherhwmvd »

Ok, so I had 8.21 and like so many the option to render the dot sheets cause the software to close. I updated to 8.22 but the dot sheet is not there. Ok, fine back to 8.17 BUT now I'm getting a text box that the drill file is not retroactively compatible.

I downloaded 8.21 AND 8.22 again to look for options to export that would allow for readability by 8.17 and none of the options are working.

Short of rewriting the entire opener in 8.17, does anyone have a fix for getting these dot sheets rendered?!

Hi heatherhwmvd,

You can still save dotsheets as a PDF in 1.8.22 as well as print them off, you just can't print preview them any more as that function started crashing the system.

To get to the Dot sheet page do the following:
  1. Go to Print Mode
  2. Press the "Dot Sheet Tool" button

Then from the Left tool bar you can "Print" or "Save PDF"

Let me know if this works for you.

Have a great day!
