Unlink Visio/AutoCad File
Sandeep Panesar
- Some changes came which were made in BOQ.
- The drawings are in Visio file, called Drawing_v0.vsx
- If I duplicate the drawing and name the new one as Drawing_v1.vsx and start making changes there it would be fine.
- Now I want to review my previous dwg copy v0, but if I open it, any thing deleted in BOQ or changed will be updated in v0 copy.
Would it be nice to have an option to unlink a particular file from D-Tools BOQ so that it would just be a Visio file with shapes and static data only.
So if I duplicate v0 dwg, save new copy as v1, and then unlink v0, I have proper dwg backups, not just a pdf for my drawings.
I understand, one risk here is if someone by mistake right clicks a current file and unlinks it, there might be impossible to link it back, or maybe it might be linked again using component ID field in shapes.

@slope online This has been requested loads of times and needs sorting. Would make the creation of service orders a lot more efficient

Maybe a little better UI related to how we create project revisions would help here. When a revision is created it stores the project files, including drawings, in a zip file. Maybe having easier access to the revision and drawing would be beneficial.
