Archibus: Errors with Drawings in Archibus Web Central pt 3

Issue:

The drawings do not publish or appear incorrectly in the web central space console

Causes:

 blocks, views, linetypes, etc with $ in their names

Solution:

Use the RENAME command.  Find what needs to be corrected and click on it.  Insert the new value into the Rename To box.  Press the Rename To button to change the name.

                I find that if you highlight it and then copy/paste it into the Rename To section, it is easier to keep a similar name.

                After you are done, press the OK button.

                Remember that you need to press the Rename To button for the change to take effect.  If you mistakenly press OK, it will not change the names.

It is a wise practice to go through each of the Named Objects and remove any $, %, &, ', or " from the objects that show up.
