PM overwrites section symbol with "undefined value"

Anonymous — Tue, 30 May 2023 10:29:11 GMT

Can anybody help with this? I had originally copied and renamed these sections but got this message in PM so thought - OK quick fix I'll just check "reference ID off" and type section names manually its only a small job so no big deal, but it still appears in PM after updating drawing
any help much appreciated

I don't understand your problem.

The "undefined value" means that the section has not been placed in the layout book.

This how I work - all views that I intend to plot are imported to plotmaker(PM) the normal procedure that I have used in the past (well since V5.1actually)is 'unlink'sections & elevations and cut & paste into one section called 'CD elevations & sections' this is imported and manipulated as required on each plot. This method has never presented a problem prior to this project. Does this help your understanding?
Could it be that in this instance I may not have 'saved as' original section?

thanks

In this case, there is nothing that the section markers can refer to. You should place each section separately on PlotMaker layout(s) and then your section markers will reference correctly, showing the sheet the sections are on automatically.

If you insist on using your manual way, then select all the section markers and replace the Plotmaker with Custom in the sheet field. Type in the sheet number. Every time.
