irenao Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 When copying devices I frequently get two tags for same device. One of the tags Class is "None", the other is "Sys-Device Tag". This is a snip from "inside" group Device: My workflow is: Copy device using Ctrl Edit device using Edit tool Either Save and reopen or when I make cable connections. I am using Spotlight 2019 and ConnectCAD 2018. Does anyone has an idea? Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee Conrad Preen Posted July 23, 2021 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted July 23, 2021 Hi @irenao Well first of all I would strongly suggest you upgrade! ConnectCAD 2021 is so much better. And it just keeps on improving. When ConnectCAD 2018 was being tested Spotlight 2019 did not exist. I think you have to at least get onto the same version.

irenao Posted August 9, 2021 Author Share Posted August 9, 2021 Hi @Conrad Preen, I like the 2021 version and I would like an upgrade but we have problems working on old files in new version. There are around 50 files each having 5 to 7 design layers so it would take me a lot of time to do a transfer from 2018 to 2021 version. Kind regards, Irena Quote Link to comment
irenao Posted August 9, 2021 Author Share Posted August 9, 2021 Hi @Conrad Preen, I have attached an example file. This is an 2019 file, opened in 2021 and saved. Even though the lines are defined as rounded they are pictured as a combination of rounded and polyline. Is there a way to fix this without creating the connections from the scratch? Thank You Irena example.vwx Quote Link to comment
aheininen Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Hi We get this double tag on some of our older devices witch originates from 2018-2020. I recall to have doubling tag problem to be more regular on maybe 2019 version. This is from 2021 version where old device has been inserted. There is additional tag on Sys-Device-Tag class. Easy to remove in edit Device but hard to remember to upload corrected symbol back to workgroup library. -Arto Quote Link to comment

In the meantime, here is a file with a script that, when executed in the layer with the circuits, fixes their graphics. Best Regards, Nikolay Zhelyazkov FixCircuitPathScript.vwx Quote Link to comment
