I'm using the Data Manager to manage Class-based Objects, concatenating text from multiple fields into a new field for symbols and groups (e.g. of furniture) in a drawing. Basically using a room name and object name concatenated into a new field. It works fine for adding data into already Classed objects, but as soon as the Class is changed, all the data in the object fields is wiped out!!!
So if I add data to objects which are created in the wrong Class (i.e. imported files) I need to change Classes before applying the Data Manager Class-based calculations. I cannot change classes for those items without losing the data. It appears that the data is linked not only to the object but also the Class once the Data Manager is employed. Can this be changed so that the data remains in the record independent of the Class?
Is this a bug or a feature I'm not sure how to benefit from?
