<DRAWINGNAME> in titles causes System Memory crashes

Discovered in AC26 and replicated in AC28

 

Noted this issue when trying to modify the interior elevations title in a Layout.

As I usually note an interior elevation with Reference ID as IE-01 and NAME as <number>,  for the 4 views to ensure the symbol on the plan is nice and tidy.

 

But I would like to be a bit more descriptive on the layout "view title" and describe what the room is.

I thought that using the following "<DRAWINGNAME> - Bathroom" in the title object was my solve.

However referencing <DRAWINGNAME> seems to cause Archicad to use all available system memory until the program must be manually terminated in the task manager.

 

Perhaps this might be worth sending on to the bug team to see they can replicate and eventually get corrected.

 

I do know that I can override the title in either the View Map or Layout Map, but had hoped the above solution would have keep the drawing number in the layout live to the project map to ensure they always matched the symbol on the plan. 

 

Operating system used: Windows 10

Does your title object work when you do not ammend the room name to the end?

No i don't think so. Generally Archicad will process an change after a few second after pausing typing.

It seemed to lock up as soon as it tries to process <DRAWINGNAME> when used in the "Custom" option in the drawing name on the layout.
