I updated and it seems fine, except that I can no longer import group symbols properly.

Yeah that's what I've learned... Vectorworks Training replied to an email and gave me a link to a VWU video that was helpful with Worksheets. The secondary reason for wanting to use a Data Tag is so that we can easily, and cleanly show our clients some more specific information, worksheets are great for the shop, but we want the client facing items to look a little more slick.

My company is trying to implement data tags to help us count the parts needed for construction of specific elements for the events we do. I have created a number of custom 3D symbols, one for each part type, and each one has a record format attached to it. The Record formats have the following fields - Part ID (auto filled with the Part ID used by the shop) - Room ID (for drafter to fill in to identify what room the part goes to) - Location ID (for drafter to fill in to identify where in the room the part is to be used) - Integer (auto fills as 1) When I draw the structure I use these symbols, I use these symbols and then once drawn I either create a group, or a symbol out of the full structure. I want to attached a Data Tag to the final structure, which I need to give the Room name, Location Name, and tally (full count) of each part used. I'm hoping someone on here can help out!
