Barcodes may be able to be shown in Data Tags, but only if you use a barcode font to enter it as text. You can't move it as an image.

Another way is to use the script found in this thread to generate a worksheet of all the fields associated with a PIO. Place an instance of the PIO on a Design Layer and run the script. Probably best to read through the thread and use the last version of the script.

=ActivePhase is returning what I would expect. The ActivePhase setting of the entire drawing. I don't know of any worksheet functions that return data about where the Worksheet Image is residing. It would be a nice addition, but currently only Graphical Legends offer that ability, not worksheets.

Three options, 1. The easiest in my opinion, is to just change the layer scale to whatever works so that your output fill the 36x24 sheet. 2. Make viewports on sheet layers and then change the viewport scale so the output fills the 36x24 sheet. 3. Figure out how much you need to scale the drawing to make it fit on a 36 x24 and use Scale Objects with the Entire Drawing and Scale Text boxes selected. HTH

I have no idea. I just tested your node in a less complicated network and I get the same output between the debug and the node. Try something like the above and see if you can get the failure. One a separate note, you might want to rename the Node to something like Alert Dialog 2 since there is already a default Alert Dialog node that does something different.

@Marissa Farrell ???

What is the setup on your Alert Dialog node?

Tell us more about your intended use. What you have said above does not make sense to me, but that is probably me. Do you want to have one data stamp that you can change the "reference row" and have it pull different information? Would there be multiple stamps referencing the same row? Or do you just want a worksheet that shows all of the data stamps so you can more easily edit the data attached?

Or in Document Preferences, Turn on Legacy 2D and turn off Unified View.

Yes and No. You want the Marker Style to be by Class so that everything in that class has the same Marker. You don't necessarily want every object in the Class to have a Marker. Or maybe you do, but most people don't. I would not want to have to have two different classes for basically the same objects so that some could have markers and some would not. Since you are doing this by script anyway, two additional lines to turn the end markers on does not seem like a big deal.

I believe that Marker By Class only specifies the type of Marker to use. I think you still need to "manually" (programmatically??) set the markers on the object. Take a look at SetObjBeginningMarker and SetObjEndMarker.

Get a handle from the name and then use EditObjectSpecial? Probably need to make sure to reset the PIO after the change. And I know you know that this will likely change all instances that use that symbol., At least on the next PIO regen.

@CthielkingPAV Post a sample file. Far to hard to try and figure out what you are doing and set up a reasonable test to see if it will work. Make sure to include examples of both your parent and child symbols and the records and the field values that we need to look for.

Not speaking for VW just myself, but I disagree with your statement that it is not a bug. To me, any time the program crashes, it is definitely a bug. That is how I ended up on Vectorworks (MiniCAD) in 1991. I "preferred" DesignCad 3D and purchased it. I spent a day making a model, selection some command and POOF, my drawing was now a bunch of lines going everywhere. Repeated. Contacted tech support and their response was you are not supposed to use that command on that type of object. When I asked if they would patch so you could not use the wrong command they said no, you just need to know not to do that. Instant return and switch. A crash is not as bad as data destruction, but it is still bad. If you have a repeatable case, please submit a bug report with a file that shows the problem. Make life better for everyone.

Seems to be a bug in the worksheet formula parser. I will submit it as a bug. A workaround is to put the negative value of the second criteria first and then add the second. =-AREA(((L='SoP1') & ('SOP data'.'Character Area'='1 Entrance Landscape')))+AREA((L='Red Line Boundary')) Very strange, but I can not come up with any set of parentheses or negative signs that make it work with the formula work in the expected order.
