5.10 logo image "disappears" from sheet

  • 1.  5.10 logo image "disappears" from sheet

    Posted 06-27-2019 08:34

    Hi,

    I've been creating some template sheets for us. When I imported an placed our logo image everything did work, until I saved it as template and reopened it. On first glance it seemed that the image had gone but it's still there, only hidden or lost its content in some way. It even happens with rather small images (about 320x125 pixels)

    All layers are enabled and that particular layer is also set to be printed.

    There is only a very small line left in the lower left corner. The image is not showing up in a PDF either.

    Ronny,

     

    I have seen the same issue with saving the plan sheets in to the template. So what I have done with my clients is build the TBC template with the view filters and layer group and save that as the template. Then we have their plan sheet that we designed saved in a drive on their network as .VCL files. They will then drag and drop their plan sheet file into the job they are working on. This seams to work well.

    If you are saving the Sheets in the Project Template (I dont personally do that but it is of course OK to do so) then you need to copy your Logo File into the project Templates Folder. You can find the projects Template Folder by going into Support - Options - File Locations and then copy the path for the project Template and then you can paste it into File Explorer in Windows.

     

    The problem that you are having is that when you create a New project and use your Template it copies the project Template into your Projects Folder - and the Sheet if embedded in the Template has a link to a file that it expects to find in the same folder as the project data (the project Folder), however because the referenced image is somewhere else on your computer (e.g. in the Drafting Template Folder), it doesn't find it to copy across with the project Template information. The same applies when you drag and drop a Sheet Template into TBC from the Drafting Templates Folder - the image has to be in that same folder, so that as the Drafting Template is copied into the project Folder, it can also find the image file that you have referenced into the Template and now the project.

     

    Hope that this makes sense

    Hi Alan,

    thanks for your explanation. That works now.

    hello Alan,

    sorry but I´m not sure, which folder you mention for storing the company logo at best. Do you mention the project manager folder or the template folder, where the *.vtc are stored already?

    hope you can remember this after the long time ;-)

    Frank

    What I did was highlight the image in project explorer, then on the drafting tab, I created block out of it. Named it logo, and put it on the titleblock layer. Then I inserted the image into my sheet set in sheet view. (Drafting tab>Drafting Elements>Insert Image). I could resize the image by dragging the corners to where I wanted them, and it would automatically scale correctly.

    I was able to delete the image from the project explorer, and it's still an option when I click insert image.

    I'm using 5.90. Don't know if that matters.
