Split worksheet across multiple pages
Nikolay Zhelyazkov replied to _James's topic in General Discussion
I do not think that the file version should be a problem. This is a print worksheet issue, so it should be based on the active worksheet only and the worksheet print functionality. Might be something with your printer settings. For me, I get correctly split worksheet with header lines on each page. -
Split worksheet across multiple pages
Nikolay Zhelyazkov replied to _James's topic in General Discussion
Hi @_James, I have just texted printing a big Project Issue History worksheet to a pdf file and it got split correctly. Could you send me a test file or a screen recording showing the steps you do? Best Regards, Nikolay Zhelyazkov -
- In this case you can try using Arrow type circuits and offset them using the control points.

Hello @Ryoung, - The offset of the number from the socket it is connected to could be modified from ConnectCAD Settings dialog for all Circuits in the file. Best Regards, Nikolay Zhelyazkov

Revision history worksheet
Nikolay Zhelyazkov replied to Ross Harris's question in Wishlist - Feature and Content Requests
Hello @Tbai, From what I am understanding, you are trying to get something like document wide revision data, meaning, adding 1 revision adds it to all selected TBBs and it is in fact just a single revision? The problem with this approach is that Revision Data in TBBs is actually not document wide, each revision is unique and separately attached to TBB objects. This means that we do not store data in the record formats as in Issue Data (which makes FormatField formula work) and that is why you get empty results with your FormatField calls. If you are making a report of revisions, it will not be easy, maybe even not possible, to have just one common date for all revisions with the same number. That is why I think that maybe Issue Data will be more suitable for your workflow, as it is document wide and you can have a worksheet that looks the same as yours if you have some revision data in the document too. However, if you do not want to mess with both Revision and Issue data, you could simply create issues only, then change the formula in your Project Revision History Report for Current Revision to be just for the issue data record Current Revision value from the database row UI as shown in the image below: Setting the formula like this will allow you to manually input values for Current Revision for each TBB in your report, which might get the job done for you. I hope that helps. If not or if I have understood something wrong, let me know or send me a test file with the sample worksheet. Best Regards, Nikolay Zhelyazkov -
2021: Issue with "Current Layer Cable Report"
Nikolay Zhelyazkov replied to ryanww's topic in ConnectCAD
- One other thing that might be happening here is that your Device is linked to an equipment item with the same name and is taking its location data from that equip item. If that is the case, you can move your equipment in the location you want it to be and then the device will get updated automatically. -
- I am not able to reproduce this. Are you using project sharing? If you have any additional information or if you succeed in finding the steps to reproduce this, let me know. Best Regards, Nikolay Zhelyazkov

Hello, @elepp, Could you give me some more information about this, as I am not able to reproduce it. Which version of VW are you using? How do you enter the height, when you change it manually? Have you noticed after what action does the height reset back to the default value? Best Regards, Nikolay Zhelyazkov

- Ohh, my bad. Well, I do not think that this is possible at this time. - It is better to have this in as a VE, I will add one.
-
- There is a precision popup just below the units selection in the Define Tag field dialog. You can choose the thousands separator there for the Data Tag defined units. - The Edit Tag Data fields are displayed based on the stacking order of the text objects in the Data Tag layout. You can move around the text objects using Right Click->Send to Back/Front/Backward/Forward and adjust your text object position in the Edit Tag Data dialog. - I am afraid that only dimension/area/volume defined real parameters could have customized units in the Data Tag. You can fill in a VE about that and it would be considered. Best regards, Nikolay Zhelyazkov
-
I don't think so, you can see all the formulas from the Define tag Field dialog. - Could you give me some more information about this? If you have a volume field that you would display in 2 different units, you can easily just have 2 formulas in your data tag with different units, as shown below with a volume field of a custom record displayed in cu m and cu ft: If this is not the case, could you give me a test file? Best Regards, Nikolay Zhelyazkov

2021: Issue with "Current Layer Cable Report"
Nikolay Zhelyazkov replied to ryanww's topic in ConnectCAD
- They should be in the Resource Manager, probably not in the same folder anymore. Look at top level and you should find the worksheet there. -
2021 Title Block Manager causes beach ball
Nikolay Zhelyazkov replied to CarlosMPA's question in Troubleshooting
Hello @CarlosMPA, I have investigated this and I am not really sure if the TBB is the root of the problem. I will keep digging in to see what is the cause and fix it. In the meantime, do you open the TBManager from the TBB's OIP button? If so, try opening the manager from the menu command (File->Title Block Manager...). It seems like that way the hang is not showing up. Best Regards, Nikolay Zhelyazkov -
Thanks for the test file @EvelyneB. I have tested this a bit and it seems that the problem comes from the Data Stamp objects in your Title Blocks. These objects have Z value different than 0 and this seems to be causing the issue. For now, you can set the Z value of these objects to be 0 and the issue should be fixed. Anyway, I will try to fix this, so that this does not cause such issues. Best Regards, Nikolay Zhelyazkov

- Your formula is wrong, you have #AREA# twice. If you delete the formula and add it again you will get correct results. Was the formula you were using in VW2020 the same? Best Regards, Nikolay Zhelyazkov

2021 Title Block Manager causes beach ball
Nikolay Zhelyazkov replied to CarlosMPA's question in Troubleshooting
Hello @CarlosMPA, Could you send me a test file which shows this issue? I have tested this out with a new document and did not have any problems. Thanks, Nikolay Zhelyazkov -
Hello @Lisar, I have just tested this in VW2021 and using the formula from my image above is still working fine. Could you make a screenshot of your Define Tag Field dialog or send a test file? Best Regards, Nikolay Zhelyazkov

Hello @ryanww, I and O are not in this list by design because they can get mistaken for 1 and 0. Best Regards, Nikolay Zhelyazkov

Hello @EvelyneB, 1) Could you send me a sample test file with the TBB wandered away so that I can try to see what is causing this issue? 2) As @Kevin McAllister mentioned above, this should be fixed in VW2021. The reason for it in VW 2020 is most probably a reset of the Title Block object while it is not visible, usually caused by modifying document wide Title Block Data. Best Regards, Nikolay Zhelyazkov

File naming schemes for publishing
Nikolay Zhelyazkov replied to A.D.K.'s topic in General Discussion
Thank you for the feedback. 🙂 As a workaround for now you can simply publish with the option "Export PDFs as separate files" checked. -
File naming schemes for publishing
Nikolay Zhelyazkov replied to A.D.K.'s topic in General Discussion
Hello @A.D.K., Just to verify that I get this right. 1) You want the naming scheme to be applied when you have only 1 PDF item for publish, no matter what the state of the "Export PDFs as separate files" is? OR 2) You want the naming scheme to be applied when you have multiple PDF items for publish and "Export PDFs as separate files" is not selected(meaning many pdf pages in one pdf file)? Thanks, Nikolay Zhelyazkov -

- Currently this is not possible. If you want to, you could add this in the wishlist thread and it will be considered. -
File naming schemes for publishing
Nikolay Zhelyazkov replied to A.D.K.'s topic in General Discussion
- I have tested this in VW 2021 with blank file and it is working correctly for me. Are you sure you have the Eqport PDFs as separate files checked? Because if you do not have it, PDFs will be created as one file using the VWX file name. If this is not the case, could you send me a test file that I can test with? Thanks, Nikolay Zhelyazkov
