Weird data tag

Hello @Iainy1961,

 

There seems to be a bug that we will look into. In the meantime, there is a workaround that you can use. In the Data Manager, change the mapping of the Trim field of the Rigging Object Info record to one of these:

 

1) =TXT(ZCOORDINATE, 'Millimeters', 'Units')

2) =ZCOORDINATE

 

Both should get the job done.

 

Sorry for the inconvenience and thanks for reporting!

@brevinbazurto how it was explained to me by Nikolay was this, the data manager tool is in the Tools>Data Manager, in the left hand column choose 'Plug In Objects-Built in', scroll down that list until you get to'Truss'. Click on that. The center pane will populate. Click the down arrow that refers to 'Rigging Object Info', that click on trim. On the bottom of the panel there is a button that says 'Define Mapping', open that. Then copy and paste one of the two option Nikolay provided. I had to change my units to feet. 

Good luck, it worked for me. Iain
