    Default C3D Header question

    The header at the top of C3D 2011 isn't showing the correct folder when I associate any drawing to it's proper work folder. But its consistant in that the folder shown after I associate is always the same. Its what I believe is the last job folder I created on my system (and could therefore me the lastest modified file under C3D Projects).
    Any thoughts as to why it keeps showing incorrectly and how I might correct it this?

    I can re-create this phenomenon on demand so if its not clear I could take step-by-step screen shots and post them to show what I am taking about.

    instead of Associating the drawing to a project alone...try Setting the Working Folder as well.

    As the poor implementation of "Project" association within C3D leaves much to be desired.
    Autodesk doesn't appear to get it; or can't or won't gives us true project association as most of us are accustomed to. (From the old days of LDD)

    Either that, or I've missed the question entirely and will be needing those screen shots you offered.

    Sorry I see I left that out, I did set the working folder 1st, then for good measure I associate. Below is my step by step process where I take a brand new dwg, set the working folder to SPC 139016, associate only to see the header display BLS0139034-01.

    Pic Step 1 - I removed as i could only get 5 attachments
    Pic Step 2 - I am setting the work folder to SPC 139016.
    Pic Step 3 - it shows i've set the working folder
    Pic Step 4 - Show how I associate the project
    Pic Step 5 - Shows me selecting the folder to associate to
    Pic Step 6 - shows the header and the working folder

    I realize this is minor, no data is being sent to the BLS working folders so perhaps this is all just pointless. But having associated drawings its just disconcerning to see the wrong folder at the top of the screen.
