MHBrown Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 Why is this absurd bug still in VW2022. It goes back at least to VW 2017. Don't you think it is time to fix it? Thanks, MHBrown 1 Quote Link to comment
0 Tom W. Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 In what way is it a bug? Quote Link to comment
0 MHBrown Posted June 12, 2022 Author Share Posted June 12, 2022 It is a bug because the language makes no sense. As far as I know, all it is trying to say is that the class that it is going into does not exist. So what? The class is brought into existence as soon as the symbol is inserted. At least that is how it should work. At a minimum, the language should read something like "The symbol you are inserting is in a class that does not yet exist in your drawing."

0 Tom W. Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 The message is telling you that the symbol being inserted is Story-aware but that the file it's being inserted into doesn't contain the story in question. It's got nothing to do with classes. 1 Quote Link to comment
0 Andy Broomell Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 (edited) This message should really be reserved to the utility bar message area instead of being an annoying pop-up that stalls work. Edited June 13, 2022 by Andy Broomell 1 Quote Link to comment
0 Tom W. Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 It's not a pop up is it? Isn't it just a message that displays in red at the bottom of the screen whilst the symbol's selected? Quote Link to comment
0 MHBrown Posted June 12, 2022 Author Share Posted June 12, 2022 I, for one, have no idea what "story aware" means. I have to believe there is a better way to describe what is happening, but I also think it may be an unnecessary message. MIke Quote Link to comment

0 Brando Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 I get a red box in the lower right hand corner saying "This symbol is using a Story Bound that doesn't exist". As soon as I click on the drawing, the object disappears and the resource browser windowshades closed. It happens on a number of different items. Is this a subscription issue? or why am I not able to use these resources? Quote Link to comment

It has to do with the Stories feature, so the message does make sense. It lets the user know that the symbol will set its insertion elevation to a predefined Level within the Story. If you don't use Stories you can ignore it. You can find the Story & Level settings in the Organization window. I don't use Stories so mine is blank. Quote Link to comment
0 Tom W. Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 @Brando be easier to diagnose if you post a screen recording of what's happening. Not entirely sure what 'As soon as I click on the drawing, the object disappears and the resource browser windowshades closed' means. Disappearing objects could be related to class visibility so make sure all your classes are turned on but equally you could be describing something completely different. The 'This symbol is using a Story Bound that doesn't exist' alert is just for info + like @E|FA says has no bearing on your ability to insert a symbol so I think we can rule this out.
