Hello Stefano,

The menu is still there in the Windows UI, but you need to activate the Design Data Management module in order to see it. Please see the attached image files.

You can also customize this menu to call your format sheets from WorkManager as well. If you need help with this please let me know and I'll be glad to lend a hand.

Stefano,

I misunderstood your question, but you are correct. There is no Load Format buttons in the Windows UI under the Setup menu as in the Classic UI. Without Data Manager you have to create a customized menu in order to load format drawings.

don't worry Thom, it was a joke :)
existing the menu and being it not under license (on classic UI it is still working) is there any way to recall this menu out of workmanager session?

ciao

Stefano,

Not sure I follow your question, is your company using Design Data Manager?

With the Classic UI the LOAD FORMATS was under the SETUP menu it would be easy to recreate this menu in the Windows UI. The LOAD FORMATS menu had no connection to Design Data Manager.

The command string for loading a A4 format sheet was as such

'LOAD SUBPART "format.a4"'

You could substitute the "format.a4" with the path location and name of your format drawing as such

'LOAD SUBPART "C:\My Formats\a4_format.mi"'
