KEEP_SESSION_FILES - *12.1.SP2*

Description
There is a default variable in Marine Drafting controlling whether .sdb files belonging to old sessions should be preserved each time a new version of the sheet is created (i.e. each time the drawing is saved). This default variable is called KEEP_SESSION_FILES and can be assigned either YES or NO.
Unfortunately, the interpretation of the value is inversed. This means that in order to keep all session files, KEEP_SESSION_FILES previously needed to be set to NO.
This issue has been corrected in 12.1.SP2, and from now on the values have the following meaning:
|
KEEP_SESSION_FILES=YES |
Keep old .sdb files |
|
KEEP_SESSION_FILES=NO |
Remove old .sdb files (except .sdb files belonging to stamped sessions). |
There is a support incident about this issue which has been marked as solved in 12.1.SP2, 41493 (KEEP_SESSION_FILES does not work.).
Benefits
