VW2024 Data Tag constraints not working

[Tom W.]

Have just tried to use my Window + Door ID Data Tags for the first time in VW2024 + something fishy's going on.

 

This is how the Window tag looks normally (VW2023 file):

 

And this is how it looks in VW2024:

 

Exactly the same tag, exactly the same settings.

 

Is this a bug?

 

@Nikolay Zhelyazkov?

 

Here are the files:

 

Window Tag_VW2023.vwx

Window Tag_VW2024.vwx

It does seem to be different between VW2023 and VW2024.

 

What seemed to work for me was to edit the Style and select the rounded rectgangle and choose the Constrain Left and Right options in the OIP.

 

That should be a one stop fix for all your instances.

 

I did check the 2023 file and it also did not have the constraints on the rectangle.  

 

So I don't know what is different.  Hopefully Nikolay will let us know what we are not seeing.

Thank you Pat I appreciate you looking at it + finding a workaround!

 

It's strange because other tags where the text is constrained to geometry in the same way work fine i.e. a Line:

 

 

and a Rectangle:

 

 

So perhaps it's something peculiar about Rounded Rectangles...?

 

 

We'll see what Nikolay says!

Hello @Tom W.,

 

Firstly, this should be happening with all graphics, not just rounded rectangles. I suppose that in the other 2 cases mentioned above your text objects have Left alignment selected and not Center, as it is in the rounded rectangle tag.

 

I think that you have found a bug here caused by the U4 updates to the constraints system. I will log a VB about it and work on its fix.

 

Sorry for the inconvenience!

 

Best Regards,

Nikolay Zhelyazkov

You are right!

Thanks for confirming + for filing the bug.
