Problem Title:
Design Manager/Flow Engine 6.0.1: A guide file specified in the
Advancedmenu may not be picked up



Problem Description:

When going into Flow Engine, some users may wish to specify a LCA file as a guid
e file from the
Advanced menu. It is possible that this guide file may not actually be used. Thi
s can happen if
the user goes back into the Options menu AFTER already specifying the guide file
 in the Advanced
menu. The reason for this is the Options menu also has a field for using a guide
 file (previous revisionsonly) and the default is "None". Flow Engine thinks thi
s is what you now want, so it will no longer use any guide files.


Solution 1:

If you need to specify a LCA file as a guide in the Advanced menu, be sure to do
 this last, after having already set options in the Options menu. You can verify
 Flow Engine is using a guide file by observing the bottom of the Flow Engine bo
x. It should have a line saying "Guide:File".
