Strange classes have appeared in our file(s)

[bclydeb]

Strange classes have appeared in our file(s). They begin with NNA# and have sequential numbers e.g NNA#4_Wall-Component-Ext Finish. And they titles (e.g. Wall-Component-Ext Finish) mimic the class names originally set up in the file.

Other problems are cropping up like stairs disappearing or not rendering/ being visible in 3D.

Our backups show the same corruption(s). We have three months of work going down the drain here!!!

Is our Vectorworks (Designer Rederworks, 2008 SP2 [build 83338]) corrupt or the file?

We're getting that too. Presumably a problem with Workgroup References and Design Layer Viewports. Although it doesn't appear to be causing us any critical problems.

Christian,

Thanks for your insight. I have experimented to verify that the strange classes were not affecting the stairs. They appear to be separate issues. I notice in other places in the forums there are quite a few of us frustrated with the stair tool. It works but not really!

I have also discovered that deleting the offending classes clears up the too many classes to scroll through issue. The file is free from the extra NNA#? classes and they have not returned. (Yet!)

Again, thanks for your insight.

Neither of you should be seeing these classes. They are a part of the (Workgroup) Referencing scheme. This sounds like a corruption. Please file bugs and get the files to NNA.

bclydeb,

Make sure you are using the latest service pack, SP3(88670).
