I am having trouble with the Automatic Border. I have a sheet format that I have used in the past without issue in my drawings. Now in Solidworks 2016 if I go into the properties of the drawing and change the sheet scale the Automatic Border is added and I have 2 borders.
I then tried redrawing my sheet format with the Automatic borders and it looked great on the first drawing. I tried to make my second drawing and the Margin Mask that I set up in my automatic border does not work. I go in to Automatic Borders to fix the mask therefore I have 2 borders again. I have figured out how to delete the old border in the tree but I shouldn't have to fix the border for every new drawing. This was all done in my old sheet format so that I would not have to mess with it. What am I missing? This seems like going backwards.
I have tried with another document and have been left with a border or region numbers that I cannot delete or select.
I am suspecting that some of this will be fixed with using a Document Template instead but it seems to make using a Sheet Format by itself useless.
I have searched around and not found anyone really complaining about this issue. Am I the only one?
By the way I am using Solidworks 2016 because that is what the customer requested. I am not sure how this works in newer versions.
