View Full Version : 2017 The Curious Case of The Galloping Keynotes

I'm experiencing a bug where our keynotes jump around on a view upon opening the file. What might cause this, and what solutions might there be?

Some background information:
The entire team is on Revit 2017.2 (17.0.1117.0)
Hosted on Revit server
The objects being referenced are all in linked files. We do all of our annotation for this project in a blank file with all model information linked in. The project is mega, so necessitated the breakdown.
Keynotes in Question are User Keynotes

Do you mean they're moving around on the screen? Do they end up back in the same spot, or is this similar to what would happen with large text notes where the formatting goes nutty.

They do end up back in the same spot after reloading the keynote family. I would say similar to what used to happen to large text notes.

All notes or just some?
Wondering if your keynote tag family just happens to be ending in that prefect spot to cause an issue of being half way in a character space?
What happens if you adjust the tag family every so slightly for it's length?
I use keynotes all the time and haven't run into this yet.
Win 10, Win 7?
GTX cards or Quadro?
OS and graphics cards might have an impact, but doubtful. Just looking for information for the record.

I should also mention I've never used Revit Server.
And are you on 2017.2 or 2017.2.1?
17.0.1128.0
20170419_0315(x64)
2017.2.1

Just some of the notes. Some remain in their correct location. The jump they're making is semi-consistent. They all go in a direction seemingly relative to the angle and length of their leaders.

Win 10, Quadro cards, 17.0.1117.0

I'm not familiar with character space, and how should I adjust the tag family for a test?
