Schematic Editor Not Retaining Drawing Sheet After Save and Reload

Software
1

Using 7.02

I have created a customized Drawing Sheet for my schematics. I can use File | Page Settings to load this Drawing Sheet by using the File control at the top of the Page Settings dialog. This works as expected.

However, if I save my schematic, exit the schematic editor, and then reload the schematic, the Drawing Sheet is not shown. Going back to File | Page Settings, the File box is blank.

I have tried locating the customized sheet in the folder with all of the sample templates, but this doesn’t help.

Is there any way to get the schematic editor to retain this setting, or is there something I’m doing wrong?

It’s a bug. Already reported; already fixed (due for 7.0.3).

3

Good to know. Is there a page that has the ETA for the next release?

planned for May 14, package availability on your system(s) of choice may vary.

If you are using MS Windows, a Testing build should fix this.
As always, backup first!

Tell me the footprint generator has not been fixed?

There are testing builds for Mac too. (And possibly some flavours of Linux; I’m not sure.)

What in the test should go to 7.0.3? Thank you

What in the test should go to 7.0.3?

The testing-builds are daily intermediate steps between the 7.0.x-releases. At some point in time (maybe the 14.05.) that actual testing-build will be named as 7.0.3.
So all bugfixes from the daily testing-builds are incorporated in the next minor release.
