Dirty bit

We just discovered that the dirty bit (not naught bit...) is not being set
when you open a part & change a document property such as units. If you
make the change and then close the file, it doesn't prompt you to save it
first - it just closes & drops the changes. Works the same way in SW2004
SP4.1 & SW2005 SP0.1. Is this the way it's supposed to be?

WT,

Beats me if it is "suppose" to be that way. I noticed it a long time ago,
thought it strange, but didn't send it in. I figured they would just poo poo
it.....

will put money in his bank account!

I noticed the same behavior with changing properties. I created a macro for
doing some costing. You start in a drawing with a selected view and it
picks up all of the parts in the assembly shown. Then it reads their Custom
Props and populates a table. Then the user can change the props from the
drawing without opening any parts. Works sweet. But I have to save each
part whenever a change is made that affects the custom props or it doesn't
prompt to be saved. I had thought that the saveflag..........Oh wait you
can programatically set the save flag Modeldoc2::SetSaveFlag. OOOh I have
to fix this now.
