michaelk Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 Is it also counting DLVPs? Quote Link to comment
Pat Stanford Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 Are you using the built in tags from the Spaces? Or are you using separate Data Tag objects? Try using a worksheet sorted by tag number to see if you have some objects with tags that skip some numbers. Or post or DM the file so we can help figure it out. Quote Link to comment

I am using Data Tags on top of Space Objects. I disabled the Space Object tag. Quote Link to comment
michaelk Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 It's very possible to attach more than one data tag to an object. 1 Quote Link to comment

Correct, But then when doing a Select Similar (magic wand...) it would show. I could not figure it out, so I edited the numbering skips and fixed it. So far... Update: I eventually found a few extra Spaces wondering in an active design layer. Fixed. I appreciate both your help. I was nearing a breakdown!!

Especially since I often inherit drawings already in progress. I have a worksheet with a database in almost every drawing called something like "Find Stuff". ("Stuff" isn't always the word I use). The criteria change as needed but the columns are usually: LAYER CLASS TYPE PARAMETRIC OBJECT NAME SYMBOL NAME ANGLE X COORD Y COORD Z COORD So in your situation I would make the Criteria be Type = Data Tag. That would give me a list of all data tags in the drawing and a quick scan would highlight a data tag in a strange layer or class or moved very far away from the expected location of the drawing. I use it almost every day. Saves me a ton of time. 3 Quote Link to comment

VWs used to be a simple CADD application and now one has to be a programmer instead of a designer half the time. Quote Link to comment
