Question:
I was in my work model and openend the Create Drawings dialog box. I double-clicked one cloning template and when I closed the dialog box, this cloning template disappeared from the Master Drawing Catalog. When I then opened the cloning template model, that drawing was still there and was defined to be as master drawing. How to get it back visible in my work model?

Answer:
You should not modify cloning templates in work model, unless you are creating a new cloning template from your work model. If you acccidentally do so, you should:

  1. Open the drawings folder from your current work model.
  2. Delete the *.master file, which has the same name as the cloning template.
  3. Re-open the work model.

The cloning template is back visible in your work model.
