prevent reuse of diagram

justone · Post by **justone** » 11 Feb 2013 19:42

I recently upgraded to v5 and run into the following issue.
Till v4 the 'prevent reuse' or 'lock' of shown working diagrams worked like this:

I opened a Ancester & Descendant diagram from a selected record. I notices that the spouse got parents and, so I selected her and press all realtives. What happened was the diagram window was re-used.

Now with v5 a new diagram window opens.

And the lock or prevent reuse is limited to having a visual lock shown or not without any effect. Means I always get a new diagram window.

Any idea? I had a quick look in here if it's mentioned and since I found nothing I rate it likely that I missed something new in preferences perhaps?

Use Tools > Preferences, Navigation tab.
There you can set your re-use preferences fo Diagram Windows, Multimedia Windows and Book/Report Windows.

Oh dear ... that easy. Wonder why it was set to 'never'. I thought upgrading did keep the old settings. And I believe I never used it with the 'never' settings.

Thanks a lot for pointing me to the right section in preferences.
