David Dauphin Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 Hello, Until VWX2020 I used to sort my hoists with function in some case. "Function" is still present in Hoist Record, but when I add it in worsheet, nothing comes in the worsheet. All my hoists vave function (Audio, Lights, Video, Cable Pick, Scenery, ...)

Pat Stanford Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 It does not look like the VW2021 hoists have a function field. Could you use the Notes field instead? ='BrxHoist'.'Notes' Quote Link to comment

I need to use it in worksheet, but there is an issue using it. As you can see, my hoists have this field used, but worksheet don't write the field when function is correct ; Quote Link to comment
Pat Stanford Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 I think the formula you need in VW2020 is: ='HoistVW'.'Function' This will return the function displayed in the Shape pane of the OIP. I think the Hoist Record is slowly being deprecated in later versions of VW. Quote Link to comment
Pat Stanford Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 If you truly want to use the Hoist Record you are going to have to manually attach it to the hoist and then enter the data in the Data pane of the OIP. Quote Link to comment

I would prefer function field come back in 2021 as 'BrxHoist'.'Function' . I could modify my hundreds of hoist with that old-new field in my librairies 😉 Instead of that, I put the function in each hoist symbol name, and I call 'BrxHoist'.'SymbolUsed' in my worksheet to replace the lack of "function" field. I hope this field will come back in 2021 in the new BrxHoist record. 1 Quote Link to comment
