  13. Thanks @JKEdmo, I'll ask our team if there is anything we can do here. I think it is likely that the underlying utility we use for text editing is pretty standard for word processing - where characters like '/', '-', and '&' are viewed as appropriate places to add a line return when there is limited room for more characters.

  20. Okay! I'm glad that worked! @Kbird1 I know it can be inconvenient to do the individual downloads - perhaps you can span the process out over a few days to ease the repetition a bit! You can also do a test of just trying the right-click "Update" feature on a few catalogs (without downloading anything from the 3D Library), there is a possibility that full update could be failing, but individual catalog updates may work. If this it the case, it would save you a little effort and would also be good for us to know and address.
  21. No, we don't need the whole catalogue system. We'll need just 1 or 2 samples that are on your machine. I'll send you a DM with steps.
  22. @Kbird1 You could also do a simple 1-off test. Target a specific catalog to test that we are confident is in X15 format - BonusBarstools2. Remove this catalog from your Library Browser From the 3D Library, download the X14 version of this catalog. Install the downloaded X14 catalog into X15 (drag the .CALIBZ from your downloads folder onto the Chief Architect workspace) Close and Relaunch Chief (just for good measure) Is the update icon displayed for Barstools No.2? If you choose to update the single catalog, does it work?
  23. @Kbird1, it does seem that something may not be working quite right in your case. That is a lot of files failing to update. Either your migrated catalog files have a different ID than the ones hosted on the 3D Library, or something is failing in the connection process for you. It might make sense to send a few copies of your catalog files to Support, so they can start a ticket. One of the development team should be able to compare your files with those on the server to understand if the update "SHOULD" work for you. If they DON'T match, you likely will need to do the maintenance of re-downloading catalogs that I mentioned in my post. If they DO match, there might be some other connection issue preventing your system from talking to the 3D Library effectively. This may need further investigation.
  24. Thanks for tagging us here, @Kbird1. Your assessment is correct! The error you see means that a newer version of the catalog has not been posted to the 3D Library in X15 file format. The catalogs that you are interacting with in your library browser were likely migrated forward from a previous release, and their X15 counterparts have either been retired, or were still in development at the time you checked for updates. I believe the CAD Block library is the last remaining catalog pending to be converted to the X15 format. We are aware of this case and working to improve the catalog before we publish it for X15. If you are seeing messages for many catalogs, as @Christina_Girerdis experiencing, there could be multiple things happening. The catalog is retired. This happens occasionally when a brand ends their partnership with us or hasn't been available to continue the update process. If the catalog represents a brand you would like to see updated, please reach out to your brand reps and ask them to re-ignite the conversation. We are happy to do the same. All inquiries about brand partners can be sent to content@chiefarchitect.com The catalog is a duplicate or older version than is hosted on the 3D Library. If you see that a catalog in this dialog is still available on the 3D Library in spite of the error when you update, it is likely that the version on your system isn't being recognized by the update process (and you are likely a long-time user - thanks for sticking with us!) The easiest way to correct this is to remove the offending catalog from your Library Browser (if you are worried about back-ups, you can browse through your file system and manage this prior to removing from the browser); then visit the 3D Library and download the catalog directly from there. Installing the newly downloaded .CALIBZ should put you back into sync with the system. Ultimately, this dialog may be a greater annoyance than it is an impact to your workflow - you still have access to all of the content you had before. The dialog is a helpful way to communicate the state your catalogs are in, and especially in the case listed in #2 above, can inform you that you may not have the most current selection of catalog downloads, and that some maintenance can be done to improve your access to distributed content. I hope this helps clarify! Best, Adrean Stephenson, Content Development Manager
