Hi There,

i just opend a S.01 file (Stardraw AV2007) and now my entire UDP section is messed up with all wrong icon's all based on badly made symbols. they look ok.but all the meta data is wrong.
why didn't i get a prompt if i wanted this in the first please. and what can i do to undo this unwanted action ?​​​

Hi Sjoerd,

It is by design that when you open a .S01 file, any symbols found in that file that have Manufacturer, Model Number and description attributes that do not match any existing product in the librarues are created as UDPs; this comes from the introduction of Stardraw Design 7 back in 2012 and was requested by users to ensure that the custom data they had created in, for example, Stardraw Audio 2007 would be available to them in Stardraw Design 7 with the greatest possible ease and transparency.

It would be counterproductive to display a prompt because each drawing might contain hundreds of products and you don't want to see a prompt for every symbol contained in the S01 file.

If you do not want to import symbols from a .S01 file use File | Import instead of File | Open Project.

Now that the UDPs have been created you can remove them in the normal way i.e. rightclick on the product in the Product Browser and choose Delete Product.

I hope this is helpful.

Thanx Rob,

though a general prompt for all the symbols would have at least warned me for this.
Since it's only about 40 symbols. i will remove them manualy.
