    recalculate worksheet

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Ah.....what I've been doing is editing the record through the Resource Browser, which doesn't seem to work but using the OIP does.

    If I alter the record through the OIP for one instance will it alter all the instances on the drawing?

    recalculate worksheet

    Hi Michaelk

    Here is a stripped down file with what I hope is a symbol with an attached record and a corresponding worksheet.

    If I change the record info the worksheet doesn't show the change after recalculation.

    Thank you for your help

    recalculate worksheet

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    I have several records attached to several parts on a drawing to create a worksheet showing part numbers and costs etc.

    When I alter a record that is attached to an item on the drawing the worksheet won't show the change when I recalculate, until I uncheck the record in the OIP and then recheck it.

    Am I doing something wrong?

    Cost/unit in a worksheet

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    After much head-scratching I have managed to set up a worksheet to give the the quantity and total cost of some parts.

    How can I get cost/unit into a column. I have tried the usual spreadsheet method of dividing one cell by another but it returns the total cost again.

    I am struggling with what would seem to be a fairly straightforward task, perhaps I should just use Excel!

    Any help would be gratefully received

    Dimensioning

    If you ungroup the dimension the text part can be changed without moving the witness lines, only trouble is it will no longer as a dimension but just become lines and text.

    Section Viewport Text

    Have you tried clicking on 'Display Planar Objects' in the OIP when the viewport is selected?

    3D Text doesn't render well in a viewport I'm afraid, certainly not good enough for presentation standards.

    The work around is to duplicate the viewport on top of the existing one and only turn on the text class and then set the rendering to wire-frame.

    The viewport below, without the text should render fine and the one on top should show up the 3d text in wireframe. I hope this is helpful!

    I was hoping that this issue would be addressed in 2012.

    Associative Dimensioning within Viewport Annotations

    in Architecture

    I'm afraid not.

    VPs are not live and annotations will not update as the design changes. They are just notes in the VP.

    It has been asked for and is long overdue but I doubt it will happen anytime soon as we are still waiting for Associative Dimensions to be associative in the 3D world.

    The consensus seems to be to put you dimensions on the Design Layer but I found this an unacceptable solution as it makes the number of classes become ridiculously large.

    In short you will have to manually update your dimensions in VPs when the design changes.
