Persistent labels

[Anonymous]

Hi folks,

We've been using labels to identify various objects in elevations (bath accessories, light fixtures, plumbing fixtures, doors). Much thanks is owed to James Murray, "Shape Label JM9" whose elegant part puts ALL the GS labels to shame.

What I find puzzling is that some earlier placed labels are lingering on the elevation in layout view only, despite having eliminated the object and the label in the model. When I open the view, and show all layers, the offending label is nowhere to be seen. Nor is it something silly like being set to a white pen.

Any ideas?

Wow. It's a first for me and I don't think I've changed my elevating habits much since 11. Still, there's some odd comfort knowing the bug is consistent (like so many of these bugs) from v11 to v12. Please GS. Fix it.

This problem has raised it's ugly head again on a current project. Has anyone found a cause/fix??
My quick fix is isolate the label layer, which turns off the object and any 'real' assosciated label. Delete the showing label and regenerate the section/elevation, then 'rebuild from model'.
