We copied the spec file from another project that would require similar spec. We changed the project name and project information. When we Print the specs the old project name appears in the header field. I cannot find a way to change the project name in the header field.
BJ,
Thanks! I am not able to reproduce this, but I did notice that if the Project Name was manually entered into the Header / Footer within the project being copied, that text will come through to the new project. That is working as designed. Please check that the project being copied is utilizing the Project Name Global Term (green text) instead of manually entered text (black text). Please reach out to Support if this is not the case on your end.
Thanks!
Gary Christensen
