PowerDesigner 16 PDM Display Preferences - Table - Columns

PowerDesigner Enterprise Architect
Version 16.0.0.3576 EBF5
OS: Windows 7 Professional 

Issue:  Changing of Table display preferences for selected items only does not work after first use.

Steps:

1. Open PDM and diagram.
2. Select one table
3. Select Tools=>Display Preference
4. Select Table in "Display Preferences" Category
5. Change Columns setting.  Say Columns was not checked by default, but for specific table(s) you want to display all the columns.
6. Click OK
7. "Changing Formats" dialog should have "Selected symbols" already selected.
8. Click OK
9. Select another table in diagram
10. Select Tools=>Display Preferences
11. Select Table in "Display Preferences" Category
12. Settings in "Table" section should be same
13. Click OK
14. No "Changing Formats" dialog window is displayed and tables are not changed.

Work Around: 

1. Change the Table settings to anything else, apply them, and then change the Table settings back to what you want.
2. Right click table with desired display settings, select "Get Format".
   Right click target table and select "Apply Format"
   CAUTION: The entire set of format and display options will be applied to target table, so if fill color, shadow, line style, etc. are different in target table, they will be changed, too.
