AC10: Attrib Mgr Complex Profile *Overwrite* now changes ID

[Ignacio Azpiazu]

In AC 10 1188, first time I see this problem, never happened before even in the same project, when bringing in Complex Profiles from some other file using 'Overwrite' to keep the ID (those ID slots are empty now, and there are no pre-existing profiles with matching names) Attribute Manager is changing the IDs going sequential from #1.

The only new thing I can think of is that in that file was such a mess I just purged all unused profiles and # 1 and following are clear --I don't know if there is anything special about the first complex profiles, as there is with say the ArchiCAD layer and the Solid Fill.

hi Ignacio, como vas.

the Attribute manager edits the project attributes only after you close the window, so maybe you can try deleting the old profile (i mean the profile with that specific ID) close the attribute manager window, open it again, and then overwrite the new profile from a pln file.
Notice that if you take the profile from an aat file it does not takes the original ID number, it just re-index the hole list. But if you take it from the original pln it keeps the original ID.

Ojala esto te ayude en algo.
(Hope this helps.)

Qué tal Nando. The thing is that in the destination file there is *no* old profile --there is nothing to 'overwrite' but the empty slot, let's say. Weirdest thing I have ever seen. Source file is a PLN.
