Hoist "Function" missing in worksheet

[David Dauphin 0]

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, ...)

It does not look like the VW2021 hoists have a function field. Could you use the Notes field instead?

 

='BrxHoist'.'Notes'

Thanks Pat, but there is a correct function field in Hoist Recrod (='Hoist Record'.'Function'). 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 ;

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.

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.

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.

I'll put an enhancement request in for it
