Elevation Tag Update Not Happening

Uh oh Spagetti O's... with the recent update I've noticed that the elevation annotation tags do not update when the their detail number values are changed. I don't recall this happening before the update but it's definitely going wrong now.


I find it necessary to change the annotation type to another or alter a setting in the family before Revit will "wake up" and change the tag to the new value. Boohoo...

Here's a quick VIDEO to demo the issue.

Customers are still beta testers after 2nd update?

This happens when you have a company juggling with 20+ design products.

When RA2012 launched it was the same bug (refitforum.org has a thread somewhere in the april period with bugs for new realese). If i remember well in the fix list in this update they say this was fixed.

I have not been able to duplicate the results but, was running into update issues with the content in a schedule not refreshing changed fields on the sheet. This and the issue you illustrate make this long time user very leery. I have grown to naturally trust the accuracy of such things...

I just tried this without update 2 installed. Same bug occurs. Looks like it hasn't been fixed.

Yeah, as a BIM manager Autodesk is making me look really bad these days.

Half of the office had installed update 2 and I told the rest of them not to do it.

In the last update, I had to reset our Component library directory path on everyone's computer. When I commented to Autodesk they replied "not our problem.. you did something wrong".

Come on Autodesk.. really.. work with me.

Same as it ever was :-(
This is a parameter gone bad. It even does the same in custom created Elevation marker Families... The name on the sheet & in the view's own properties changes, as you showed, yet no glory in the "Automatic" symbology.

I am assuming you have sent this to ADSK, right?

Okay, problem solved. It is related to the use of Worksharing / Worksets. In our firm, we almost always use worksharing and that appears to correct the Elevation tag problem.

Argh.. now I look a bit silly again (as a BIM manager). Thanks Autodesk for the heads up on that one! sigh.

I installed the updates a few days back and immediately had this problem surface. Good news is, I opened the file with the "Audit" box checked and Revit fixed the tags.
