[Data tag colours]

Hi @LeeElston,

This sound as a bug. I could suggest a workaround of the problem(the problem is that there is a polyline with radius vertex). The workaround is to convert the polyline to a polygon. This is a short video on how I fix the file.

Hi @pcoleman,

My recoment is to remove the "Wrap text" and to set "Left" and "Right" constraints of the text and the line. I attached my suggestion on how to fix the style.

Hi @pcoleman,

 

Could you attach a simple file with your data tag and if you are able to show what results you expect I could try to help, if I am able to do it.

[Coordinate Marker]

The 'Data Tag Referenced Location' functions were added for VW 2022 SP3.

[Coordinate Marker]

Hi @pcoleman,
 

It is possible to show the coordinate of the leader of the data tag, if you use the General Function "Data Tag Referenced Location". I attached a short video to demonstrate how it works.

[Dynamic Box Margins]

Hi @C. Andrew Dunning,

 

I removed the right alignment of the dynamic texts and this is the result - Test.vwx. I am not sure whether this is the expected result.

 

@Nikolay Zhelyazkov, do you have another suggestion, how this can be solved?

[Data tags inside a symbol with symbols inside]

Hi @Grzegorz Krzemien,

 

What do you mean that data tag disconnects from objects? In your file all data tags seem to be associated correctly.

 

About data tags inside symbols: in VW2023 we add a new option "World-based data tag" and I recommend to use it, if you want the data tag to be placed inside a symbol:

[Wall Data Tag issue]

Hi @gfilippini,

 

The problem is that one file uses IFC4 and the other file uses IFC 2x3. The data tag style takes the information from IfcWallStandardCase which is default when the IFC is 2x3. The default IFC entyty for IFC4 for walls is IfcWall, so this data tag style could not take information from it. for IFC4 you should use another data tag style.

If benelux windows and doors are implementing the "Energos" interface, they will be included in calculation. This depends on the developers of benelux windows and doors.

You can customize the default "Display" in Libraries\Defaults\Energy Analysis\EnergyUnits.xml. If you change:

[Notes Manager VW2020]

On 3/10/2021 at 1:30 AM, Boh said:

Hey @Hugues I've just upgraded from vw2019 to vw2021 and am struggling with the new notes manager.

 

If I write a callout note I'm struggling to see how to add that note to a database.

 

I have the callout.

I right click "edit" to open the edit callout dialogue

I click on "Add Note to Database"

Now what? Do I have to retype or copy/paste my note into the dialogue? I've already written the note, how can I just add it to the database?

 

See video. I must be missing something.... Please help!

Hello,

 

We was able to reproduce the issue (when the default database does not exist). @iborisov will look it.

[Data Tags Moving or Losing Connection]

Hi @Amorphous - Julian

 

I was out of the office from 16th April till today.

 

Could you send me a steps or video how to reproduce the problem? I was not able to reproduce from blank file. I guess that your data tags were disconnected before publishing, but you do not see this, because they are not reset. The exporting of PDF has option for resetting plug-ins.

 

Could your data tags/file be broken before exporting? Could you reproduce the problem from a blank file? We need a steps how to reproduce the problem otherwise we cannot fix it.

 

If you able to reproduce the issue from a blank file this will be very useful. Also if this is related with project sharing we need to know this and steps how to be reproduced.

 

I added a short video with steps what I am doing.

[Data Tags Moving or Losing Connection]

Hi Eric,

 

For shifting I am not sure whether this is same issue. If you are able to add a bug (or to send a test file with steps how to reproduce) for this We will analyze it.

 

Thanks,Kosta

 

[Data Tags Moving or Losing Connection]

Hi Eric,

 

If you use project sharing, the problem is fixed for VW2020 SP2. The fix will not reconnect automatically disconnected data tags. After the fix the data tags will not lost them connections anymore. Unfortunately you have to reconnect disconnected  data tags manually.

 

If you still see this issue, could you send me a test file with steps how to reproduce?

For the moment workaround is to unlock the referenced objects, then you will be able to tag them.
