Referencing/Importing Embedded Symbols moves things around

[Jake DeGroot]

I have a drawing with a whole bunch of referenced resources. I want to reference more resources from the same source file. I navigate to the source file in the resource browse, right-click on the symbols I want to bring in, and click reference. It asks me where to put the symbols and I keep the "Preserve Folder Hierarchy" option checked. So far so good.

But, when I look in my destination file, the new references in there in the proper folder, but in addition to that, Vectorworks pulled any embedded symbols into that folder too.

So, for example, I have a C-Clamp symbol referenced in an Iron folder. Then I reference in a new Source Four Section Symbol. It goes in the Source Fours folder, but when i do that reference, since the C-Clamp symbol is used within the Source Four Section symbol, it pulls the C-Clamp into the same Source Fours folder. Thus, all my organization gets all messed up and I have to hunt and peck trying to find symbols that aren't where I put them. Grrr.
