Thanks, that worked! Frankly, I don't know what did it. Was it the number of closing brackets? Was it the fact that I put the Layer formula first? Was it the space between something or other? Because I literally tried all of those in some for or other. I think you're right in that the brackets are quite temperamental. The formulas now work, but some have 2 outside brackets and some have three 🤷‍♀️

We created custom symbols years ago and have had problems with the spreadsheet double and triple counting when we have several of these symbols in separate layers, since it wants to count all the symbols in the file. Is there a way in the spreadsheet to make the formula limit the count to a specific layer where the symbol resides? The formula is currently written as =COUNT(S='symbol'). I'd like to limit the count to symbols on a specific layer without counting the same symbols on another layer. The end product is to show a table of symbol counts. Thanks

grant_PD, thanks, it is.

On Vectorworks 2021 and it still bogs. I've deleted all the layers with pdfs on them and it seemed to improve the performance somewhat, but I'm just doing a simple command like copying lines using the offset tool and I'm still getting a beachball. The file is all of 28mb. So no, 2021 still hasn't fixed lagging issues. I'm on a MacBook Pro that's compatible with the requirements for mid-level profile projects per vectorworks requirements, so I should have enough computing power.

We use to be able to just add a pre-defined section marker style with drawing number and sheet number and a tab at the other end (top). We're no longer finding this option and can only fine one option where the section marker is the same at both ends (bottom). Editing it is a major hassle, but we can't find the previous styles. Where can I find those? I

Nope.

Vectorworks for Mac v. 2018. We've been having this problem for some time even with previous versions all the way to at least 2016. We have existing callouts on drawings (working in 2D only). If we click on the callout it rotates it to a 120 degree angle and the only way to fix the angle is to type in a zero in the Object Info box. Has anyone experienced this? Thanks.
