Archibus: Errors with Drawings in Archibus Web Central pt 2

Issue:

The drawings do not publish or appear incorrectly in the web central space console

Causes:

layers with $ in their names

Solution: 

Open the layer manager and check to see if you have any layers with $, %, &, ', or " in their names.    If you do, then right click on the layer that needs renamed.  Choose rename and remove the special characters.

You can also change layer names by using the RENAME command.

The only layers that should have a $ in their names are the Archibus layers.  These would be similar to RM$, and RM$TXT.  This pattern is for all the layers used by Archibus, like GROS, EQ, FN, FT and such.
