Spec Editor Error Message P3D2014

I have a project that we've migrated from 2013. I haven't had this error up until now. I'm trying to add a threaded reducing coupling to a spec and it is giving me the attached error. Anyone gotten this before or know what the problem is? I'm wondering why it's specifing Plant 3D 2013???

It appears to be related to the Long Description Style.

Did you setup a long description style in 2013?

I may have messed with it when we first started using Plant3D but as far as I know I never stuck with it. If that's the case, how do I abandon it or at least get things back to where I can add to a spec?

Any further thoughts???

In the error message have you checked the path to see if the Default Part Family Style.lds still is in the directory? If it is still there then you might add that path to the support paths in Plant 3D 2014 under options and see if the helps to resolve the issue.

This folder didn't exist in the 2013 location but it did in 2014. I copied the folder "SpecEditor" which contained LDStyles\Default Part Family Style.ids from 2014 to 2013 and it seems to work now. I'm concerned about why it's still looking at the 2013 folders though when it should be looking at 2014. Any thoughts/ideas?

I have recently encouter this issue as well for a spec migrated from 2013 to 2015, here is the solution worked for me:

1- open .pspx file of your infected spec with a zip utility (e.g. winzip, winrar, 7zip, etc.)

2- edit the SpecSheetSettings.xml and at the end of the file correct the paths for Part Size Style and Part Family Style to the paths matching with current version of P3D on your system
