Saved Drawing objects revert to generic names after platform is restarted (NT Version 8.1.6.0 64-bit)

After saving drawn objects with unique tag names, the saved Drawing objects revert to generic names after platform is restarted, thus invalidating alerts and other logic based on drawn objects.

The saved names are gone. I’ve noticed this since Version 8.1.6.0 64-bit.

Lot of issues since this Kraken take over guys?!

It sounds like you are saving your workspace yes? Are the drawing objects added manually or programmatically? I can’t test this directly as I’ve reverted to 8.1.5.2 due to other problems with the new version. In 8.1.5.2 only manually drawn objects are saved to the workspace xml file, and they preserve the name in the <Tag> element. Are you seeing this element in your workspace file?

It really does seem like they didn’t do much (if any) QA on these new releases. Hopefully they get 8.1.6.2 out sooner rather than later.

Hi Mark, thanks.

I add the drawings manually, for instance, a line.

I save a line drawing with a unique name, so instead of ‘@horizontal line 95’ I have it as ‘support line’ and click apply.

After saving my workspace, template, etc, I quit the platform.

Upon reopening the platform the name I had given to the line has reverted back to ‘@horizontal line 95’

Anybody esle noticing this issue with drawing objects?
