The little dialog box with "overlay not found...for drawing XXX..." is a great idea, saves me having to search through all the drawing modes looking for the missing overlay!

 

A tiny thing, but a big help.  Thanks SP!

Seems like this happens when a plan or project is saved as to another location. I've never been able to understand how to make it not pop up each time i open the project.  Seems like if there is no plan to over lay, the program should unselect the overlay, instead of popping up each time.

Or maybe is this due to a drawing also being attached to another project that it was moved from.

That is probably what happens for me, since I save to Dropbox frequently. But the new dialog box identifies the location and lets me correct it easily.

I need to read the dialog, I think I just hit yes or no and move on.        Sound like I can turn it off to not happen again?

Screenshot - tells me which mode is trying to reference the missing drawing, so I can turn it off. Was a huge hassle before, trying to locate which mode had the missing overlay.

I haven't pinned it down totally, but seems as when I save as a floor (drawing) it brings over maybe that there is an overlay, but not the overlay.

I looked at that a little more, I think the dialog should have a yes or no, so it can be turned off, or make it an auto turn off.  I can't see why it is needed.  I guess it is looking for the plan that it was saved as from, 

 

I tend to do a lot of "save as"
