door info lost

[emkim]

On two of our drawings, inserted doors and windows (version 2 - 3D detail) have lost the ability to be edited through the "object info" dialogue box. Doors and windows cannot be moved and can only be deleted. However, it seems as if the doors and windows have not been completely lost as inserted symbols because they can still be flipped.

Has anyone else encountered this problem? Are the files in question somehow corrupted? One thing that we did in the office was upgrade to Vectorworks 8.5.2 for a few days before discovering that text was rotating and showing up incorrectly whenever we created Adobe PDF files. We then went back to 8.5.1. Would this have anything to do with our door and window problem?

Appreciate any insight.

It sounds like you may have created files in 8.5.2 with plug-ins that don't exist in the old version you re-installed.

If you used ARCHITECT with 8.5.2, have you re-installed it in 8.5.1? If the door and window names are Complex Window 2 and Simple Window 2 then I would definitely suspect ARCHITECT has not been re-installed with 8.5.1.
