I've seen lots of posts saying you can't delete old versions of a design, and I get that since it may break newer versions (generally - I understand save as, etc). But can I delete the last saved version of a design?
I opened a design just to make some measurements, and moved some stuff to facilitate checking some parts relationships, and thinking the design was not editable I closed it and now my latest version is wrong. I don't want to come back in 6 months thinking my latest version is correct and the latest one is irrelevant so I'd like to delete it.
A tidy home is a tidy mind or a wasted life, depending on which way you look at it. But a tidy file structure for designs/development is one that will make your life handier. Below is the file structure that I use:
This is commonly reported as an error due to using the wrong version of SSMS(Sql Server Management Studio). Use the version designed for your database version. You can use the command select @@version to check which version of sql server you are actually using. This version is reported in a way that is easier to interpret than that shown in the Help About in SSMS.
Additionally, our problem is thinking about what files need to beunder version control? I.e. what are the minimum number of files required tobring a design back to life in the event of data corruption? There appears tobe many sub folders and files created as part of an overall schematic andlayout design. (I have asked Cadence about this, but no clear answer comesback!)
We could of course just zip the whole design and put that into subversion(or similar), however, in the true spirit of revision control this is notreally an answer. (I used Altium in the past, and it worked without any issuesin Subversion. You could change multiple schematic page files, and easily rollback to an earlier version of just one of them then re-sync with PCB, onlyupdate files that changed, etc..... this is what a true revision control systemshould give a user)
Hi Dave, thanks for the feedback. Will take another look at ADW option, however, when I looked at this in the past it seemed to be more configured for control over library parts than actual design projects. (We use our own internal wrapper, so currently do not have ADW, but if it done everything we needed, then wortha second look).
When multiple members of a design team are working on the same project, versions quickly multiply. And without a standardized process for design version control, you can quickly find yourself with five files that look like this:
Setting up naming conventions is the first and most important step in solving your version control woes. This simply means coming up with a consistent format for naming your designs and their various versions. And making sure the entire team (and new team members, as they join) knows the new format!
Use branches to experiment with different design ideas or work on specific features independently. That way, you can isolate changes and avoid disrupting the main design project until changes are ready to be merged.
Design versioning tools, like the three we saw earlier, are specifically designed to help you manage multiple copies of the same file. They improve creative collaboration, prevent major disasters, and make your job much easier.
To overcome this, Git and some other version control systems offer large file storage (LFS), which stores large files outside the repository. Other steps you can take to overcome this challenge include optimizing file formats, compressing design assets, and regularly cleaning up your folders to reduce clutter and improve performance.
Collaboration is a fundamental part of any design project. But the more people involved, the harder it becomes to communicate clearly, juggle conflicting ideas and modifications, and keep everyone on the same page.
As our design teams grow, we need a predictable workflow to ship great products. Yet, the design tools that were created to make our lives easier still leave us jumping through hoops. We spend countless hours trying to identify which design files are the most recent, which have been approved, what changes were last made, and why.
All modern work hangs in the balance of timing and context. To deliver a great customer experience, design, marketing, and engineering have to be able to speak the same language, in one place. As things stand today, the communication flow between design and other stakeholders can be improved dramatically.
In the last few years, the design tool space has expanded faster than most of us imagined. New tools for screen design, prototyping, generating code, wireframing, and more, have given us the ability to create more things, faster. But this proliferation of tools has actually increased the complexity of cross-functional work, in a time when the creative process is becoming more collaborative.
Last year it was mentioned in the forum that LightBurn was considering releasing a a design-only version of LightBurn which will not communicate with a laser, but would let you load / import / save LightBurn files. This would allow elimination of discount codes and enforce the intention of the discounted version.
Opinion of one: Without Gcode and communications, LB will be competing with 3-axis designers, many of which are free. DXF and SVG output will only be a minor inconvience to laser users. I wonder how many lasers are sold and operated without using Lightburn. Schools and makerspaces can buy a copy and train from that. LB would be moving away from the core purpose of the product, being design and operational software for lasers. Effort and resources will be pulled away from the maintenance and support of the current product.
The settings within the study design are version controlled and identified by the version number. Study design version numbers are unique within a study, for example if there are five study design versions, all originating from the same design, and a new design is created from scratch within the same study, it will have version 6.
I'm not really bothered about the structure of the file, since it's already decided that we'll be using XML, and the initial schema is, by and large, already decided. However there will no doubt be changes to it in the future, and I just want to be able to design the code in a way that makes it easy to accommodate these changes.

Are you struggling to revert to an earlier version of your Visio design? Look no further, because this article has all the tips and tricks you need to quickly and easily revert to a previous version. Say goodbye to frustrations and wasted time, and hello to smooth design workflows.
Recently, a colleague unintentionally made significant alterations to an important project diagram in Visio. Thankfully, with design versions, we were able to effortlessly revert back to the previously approved version.
Reverting to a previous design version in Visio may be necessary to rectify accidental changes, resolve compatibility issues, or reinstate an earlier concept. For example, if a recent update causes layout problems, you may want to revert to a previous design version. Similarly, if a collaborator prefers an earlier iteration, reverting can accommodate their preferences, fostering effective teamwork and project alignment.
Reverting to a previous design version in Visio does not cause you to lose any changes made in the current design version. Visio will keep the current design version, allowing you to compare it with the previous version. This ensures that any alterations or updates made in the current version are preserved and can be revisited if necessary.
After reverting to a previous design version in Visio, the current design version is still accessible through the version history feature. This allows any changes made in the reverted version to be preserved, making it possible to compare and analyze the differences between the original design and the reverted version. This feature also enables users to understand the evolution of the design over various iterations.
Hi Guys, I am coming to the end of designing my font and have noticed punctuation is missing some boxes which are pretty essential such as apostrophes, question marks etc. will these become available once I purchase the licence or am I missing something?
Override the report specifications at the version level to change the design of a batch version. The changes you make to the specifications of the batch version do not affect the report template or any other batch version associated with the report template. The override specifications feature is a section level option. You must override specifications for each section that requires modification. You can override specifications by type. This table describes the different specification override options:
