Manual Entries Not Marked Dirty After Editing

[Frank Caudillo]

Morning Everyone,

I've noticed this issue pop up recently where my edited manual entries are not being marked dirty. I've had to be careful about immediately forcing it to regen after editing them to be safe but, ideally, I would like to see them being marked as such so I don't miss anything.

Anything I should try to fix this issue? Thanks.

Edit - This is in 2017, by the way.

I'm using 2017, and they are dirtied when I change them

They've always been marked dirty for me, at least up until a few weeks ago. Must be something weird going on with my system. If it ends up being too much of a pain I'll have our reseller take a look at it. We might be moving to 2019 soon anyways.

Have you ran a "File Repair" in a while? This used to be called "RAM Saver".

If you aren't familiar with this function; it is a life-saver!

I'm not sure if that will fix this particular issue you are having, but it is a function I run at least once an hour when working with large files.

I have not. How big are the files that you consider "large"? Most of my MCAM files are between 30 and 100mb, although I do have one that's about 1GB.

In either case, I'll give it a try and see if it helps. Thanks, Colin!
