AC 20 Door Window Label Problem in Elevation

Robby
Booster
I am working on a project that I started in AC 19 and am finishing in AC 20.

In AC 19, The Window and Door labels in Elevations were showing correctly their element ID such as W08, W09, etc.

In AC 20 the element ID is now prefaced with <no content defined> as shown in the illustration attached.

Sorry if obvious, but I can't seem to find where to change this.....

What happens if you change the ID Text parameter to "Compact Element ID" instead of "Full Element ID"? The Full Element ID shows the Master ID of the Hotlinked Module plus the Element ID.

Rob:

I am seeing the same, the additional text reads "<no content defined>". When I open the library part and search the 2D Script, at Line 165 is the code:
if _sContentStringsHead[1][1] = "" then _sContentStringsHead[1][1] = `<no content defined>`
I can't easily tell where the bug is in the code, it would be up to the library part's author to fix this. I could not find any parameter changes that removes that text.

This Label is in the US Library, not the INT version.

It looks like you could use the Identification and Property Label 20 to get what you need.
