What could be simpler? Three text objects and a 2D loci on a sheet layer, where "screen" plane is the only option. Yet when I make a symbol from those four objects, only the 2D loci remains. Why?!?!?!?!?! Finally, I realize it's a 2D/3D symbol. Huh?!?!? How, on a sheet layer, is a hybrid symbol created from what are presumably 2D, "screen plane" objects?? So I edit the 3D component (of this hybrid symbol on this 2D-only sheet layer), change the text from its 3D plane to screen plane, and, finally, get the originally expected 2D symbol. What a great waste of 5 or 10 minutes. But on the bright side, at least Vectorworks is consistent with this type of nonsensical behavior. Vectorworks 2021, beta version SP4.
