Database totals and more

[ashot]

Please see attached my VW file with a question about database in a worksheet.

I want to find the way to how

1) recognize what kind of non-numeric field was used in database by NNA-Property_Line

2) how it is possible to retrieve non-numeric field value into new worksheet

I also tried Pat Stanford's script to recognize parameters for PIO Property-Line.

It works fine for any PIO , but not in my case when Property line with curves created in a worksheet with criteria then immediately deleted by NNA_Property_line subroutine hidden form me.

Please help.

Ashot,

Where did you get the information about the NNA_PropertyLine_CurveData record? How did you create the database?

I can not find any indication (other than the worksheet shows the data) that such a record exists.

Ok further digging.

The Delta field is defined as text, but the Vectorscript and worksheet commands are not smart enough to turn a text block formatted at degrees, minutes, seconds into a number.

I think you are out of luck. Submit a bug report and ask that the Delta field be changed from Text to Angle as the field type.

I have not been able to come up with a workaround that seems practical.

Dear Patrick:

1)

To your question:

"Where did you get the information about the NNA_PropertyLine_CurveData record? How did you create the database? I can not find any indication (other than the worksheet shows the data) that such a record exists."

Here is the answer:

If you try to draw any Curve, say command Arc and then Modify:Convert:Convert from Polyline:Property Line - it will automatically create curve data database/worksheet using internal algorithm designed by NNA.

2)

I will submit a bug report and ask that the Delta field be changed from Text to Angle as the field type.

Thank you very much for your help.
