Same Issue here. Have not figured out a work around.

Thanks for the update on the font issue. Still having the space tag problem, will try to report it as a bug.

Working on a file imported from 2025. When exporting to PDF either through the Export or Publish to PDF, all the space tags revert to #1#, #2# on the PDF and in the file as opposed to the information that is included in for the Room Name, Room Number, Etc. This has happened on several different files. Have to Edit the space tag symbol to get the information to show up again. The only way we have figured out to work around this is to turn off the "Reset all plug-in objects that require a reset prior to exporting" checkbox under the Update section of the Export PDF dialog. This doesn't seem to be affecting other PIOs like doors. Also, the exported PDF changed a bunch of text to italicized?

We are also now getting odd lines from pocket doors.

We are having the same issue. Have not had the issue in the past and does not appear to happen on all files. Opened one file and the doors with side lights on one side only appeared to create a space on the opposite side even if the side light width is set to 0". It seems to happen once you insert the door into the wall. If you pull the door out of the wall the "box" remains. Have tried adjusting settings of the doors. Not sure if it is something with the door itself or a bug?

Script seemed to work on the file that was giving me issues. I'm assuming it would need to be run on each file that has problems?

Will try the utility on one of the problematic files.

Seems ok with a new file. It is somewhat random. Some files the Publish works fine, others it crashes.

Also having a similar issue since upgrading to 2015. Happens with files on local drive or on network. Only happens when using the "Print" option through the "Publish" command. We typically "Print" to the Adobe PDF print driver. When we "Publish" and use the PDF setting it works fine. When we print individual sheets through the standard print option it works fine. Seems to have gotten progressively worse which is odd???

Yes, i got that. What we are looking for is a way to just see the legend when in annotation space. So if a legend is not in the section or view of drawing you are looking at, you have to constantly zoom in and out to refer to the legend. This could easily be done if we were allowed to have two view windows of the same drawing.

Having recently switched from 2011, the use of the stories & layers actually seems to work better for me at least. Now there is a clear definition and organization. But the automated integration is the issue. So when you adjust the "Story" elevation in the organization tools, even though i understand the story does not have a height, it will adjust the bottom "Z" of any layers associated with that story. So one would think that there would be an option to stretch the walls that are to the underside of the story? Maybe just looking for too much automation? Really just wanted to make sure i wasn't missing anything or doing something incorrectly.

Just started using VW2013 and had a question in regards to the Story vs Layer Height. The stories under the Organization Tool seems to work, but the only issue is that you adjust the height of a story after you have a bunch of stuff in the model, the layer Wall height does not adjust?? So we originally had a 10'-0" story and layer wall height set, but had to adjust the Floor to Floor due to a structural change. Changed the Story Heights in the Organization Tool, which adjust most things, but then noticed that there was a gap showing up with all the walls. Have to go into each layer and adjust the layer wall height. Should this adjust automatically if you change the story height? Or am i missing something?

Is there anyway to open a window showing the Keynote legend while you are in annotation space? Basically, we are working on a drawing sheet that has keynotes already placed and are moving them. But to find out which keynote is which, have to scroll down in the view to look at the legend each time. Is there someway to view the legend independent of the actual sheet?

Just an FYI, ran a bunch of test files. seems to work perfectly. so for anyone who is interested here is the link to the post from Pat http://techboard.vectorworks.net/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=126725#Post126725 Thanks again Joe

Thanks, i didn't even really know that portion of the Forum existed. I took the code from Pat's post and ran it from a text file. Seemed to work perfectly for me. Cleared out all the issue data and was able to start over with a clean issue notes section. Going to run a couple more test files to make sure it works ok, but from the first try it seems to be exactly what i was looking for! Thanks Joe & Pat
