Space Label issues after 2019 SP3

[mgries]

I'm getting a new problem related to Space Tool upgrade.

I'm using the old version space labels in which I've created some sub-classes for the text. This allows me to independently turn on/off extra data about the space (such as the Area, Room Dimensions, or Occupant Load). In the screenshot I've attached, for example, only the top 2 lines of text are on the none class. The last 3 lines of text are on unique IDEN-DAT1,2,...etc. classes. After updating to SP3, all of the space label text is permanently displaying regardless of on/off visibility of these sub-classes. Is this supposed to work this way now? This had been a very simple and consistent way for me to control label info.

Please help! This has wrecked my drawings!

thanks,

Matt

I ran into the same issue; I think it surfaced when updating auto-bounded spaces.

 

On the left is the "structure" of the custom space label with the proper classes; on the right is what became of them - everything in the space label class, stubbornly.

 

The remedy went as follows:

 

1) draw a new space object (should work fine)

2) make a new space style based on the new space object

3) select all problematic space objects ar once and replace their style (or their unstyled "style") with your new style

-> the spaces work again.

..addendum...forgot to mention that apparently the same auto-boundary updating process destroyed most of my doors. They could be seen, but not edited or moved. When inserting a new door into the same wall, all the old "ghost doors" disappeared from that same wall. The only remedy was to copy paste the doors from a recent backup.

 

I filed a bug report about this. The local distributor recalled one similar incident in the past. A pretty awful bug to encounter when submitting for construction bids since our door objects are heavily laden with equipment and locking data...

Hi JMR,

I didn't even realize someone had move my post and created a separate stand-alone Troubleshooting post from it. Thanks for responding. I'll try your remedy out, and see if I get the same results...thanks!
