Plant symbol issues going from 2012 -> 2014

[jpetty_la]

We have an extensive library of a few thousand symbols for Trees,shrubs, perrienials,, etc, that were created in v2012. These master files are then accessed via the resource browser window when designing.

While I was away for a few days, we upgraded to 2014, these master files and all the current files we are in the middle of working on were converted to v2014. I came back to a major headache, our designers cant get anything done, All our symbols now when accessed thru resource browser and dropped in to a design are a mess. Things like "mass overlapping plants' and "display tag line marker" are always selected no matter what i do to change master file it seems to ignore these settings and the symbols come in to the design as a big blob with no line detain, or wrong tag line, etc.

I need to find a solution to this asap, as we are forced to work in 2012 until I can fix this.

Hi

The plant tool changed a great deal in Vectorworks 2013, for the better. Don't worry, all your hard work is not lost.

I wrote a blog post about this which will help you.
