Seat numbering random chaos issue

[Blue Badger]

I'm creating seating and that is all fine but when I set numbering per row I'm getting a few rows weirdly labelled. 30 seats wide by 30 rows deep. Most numbering is fine but have a few rows that go rebel on the numbering. I've deleted and started over a couple of times (and has improved a bit) but still have a rogue numbering system. ANy insight would help and thanks. https://i.postimg.cc/pXXW2Qy8/Screenshot-2024-09-28-at-7-09-57-PM.png

Ha.  That's interesting.

 

Do you have multiple seat symbols?

 

Does updating it fix it?  Can you paste a this seating section into a blank file and post it here?

Same seat symbol for all (created an area and chose the 2D symbol and created it 30 wide by 30 deep). File attached.

I'm seeing the same thing as you.  It works as expected in 2024.  But in 2025 I'm getting the same random seat numbers.

 

I'll check to see if a bug report has been made.

Thanks. I'll recreate it in 2024.

I may have spoken too soon.

 

I opened a seating section created in 2024 in 2025.  It worked fine.  Then I made another section from scratch.  Also fine.

Let us know if that works.  I just tried exporting your seating section back to 2024.  The problem remains.

 

So there is an issue with this seating section.  Probably not a bug in 2025.

@Peter Neufeld. have you seen this before?

@Blue Badger

 

I think I figured it out.  It's your symbol.

 

Check this file out.

Your symbol had the geometry far off from the insertion point.  But somehow the seating section tool figured that out!  Pretty impressive.

 

You need to attach Event Planning Record to the symbol definition.  The value in the Type field needs to be Chair.

Hi Michael,

Interesting... good fix. There's a lesson in there somewhere!

 

Cheers,
