Field value sometimes incorrect...HELP (please)

[tedg]

I'm actually asking for a co-worker.
Working in ADT 2006.

The Story:
The drawing title block number is a field, calling for the file name without the extension.
So drawing file "S-502.dwg" has "S-502" in the sheet number spot on the titleblock.

The Problem:
This one user has the problem (sometimes, not always) when plotting a plot file or just plotting a plot, (many plots sometimes) the field is wrong. Usually another drawing he has opened or has had opened recently.

Recently he plotted around 15 to 20 plot files, at two different times, and they all had the same "drawing number".

When he notices it on the screen, doing a REGEN it fixes it.

BTW, his FIELDEVAL value is set at 31, so it shoud be fixing itself when doing anything with the drawing.

This only appears to be happening with his machine, sometimes he uses "Publish" and this is a known problem when I do that too, but I'm talking about strait plotting procedures. I have the same platform and don't have this problem and neither does anyone else.

Thanks.

Could you post the field code macro?

Could you post the field code macro?
It's just the OOTB field value: File name without path or extension (not Rtext).
I don't know what the diesel expression is, and I'm heading out the door right now.
I'll try to post it tomorrow.

Thanks

The field expression that shows in the field dialog is:
%<\AcVar Filename \f "%tc1%fn2">%

Does that help?

That looks fine.
The problem might be that the 'FIELDEVAL' variable used to be set in the drawing. You may need to set it to 31 in every drawing. See more details here:
