Guest Posted May 13, 2003 Share Posted May 13, 2003 Get rid of the doors. THe door schedule shows all doors that have the door record attached to them. Whether you ID'd them using the ID tool or not, they will show up in the drawing. If you stlil need the doors in the drawing you can remove the door record from the door in the Data tab of the OIP. HOWEVER, if you do this and later decide you want the door to have the door record attached, you'll need to manually type in EVERYTHING in the Data tab. Quote Link to comment
cherie Posted May 14, 2003 Author Share Posted May 14, 2003 ok i deleted all doors and placed new ones. but i still get an item showing up in the schedule that i don't need anymore. is there a way to select edit that cell in the schedule? Quote Link to comment
Guest Posted May 14, 2003 Share Posted May 14, 2003 Cherie, The objects you don't want are still in the drawing with a window record attached. Until those items are completed removed from the drawing, they'll show up in the worksheet. The window schedule is a database, meaning you cannot alter the data in the worksheet. You have to alter the object the data is linked to in the drawing to get it to alter in the schedule. It's pulling the data - in this case the window record data of the OIP tab for all objects with a window record attached, and making a big list of everything with this criteria. So the only way to get it out of the schedule is to get it out of the drawing or remove the window record from the offending object. Quote Link to comment
cherie Posted May 14, 2003 Author Share Posted May 14, 2003 katie and jim...... thanx for the input. i will see what i can do. cherie Quote Link to comment
jfmarch Posted May 15, 2003 Share Posted May 15, 2003 There are several ways of doing this. You can try to find the offending symbol and either delete it, or turn of the record format thats attached to it. Editing database celles can only be done through the database header, by changing selection criteria (classes, layers, record formats, etc.), or by the column headers (record format fields). We run schedules by CSI numbering (8500 for doors, for example), so I usually find the symbol I don't want scheduled and change the number to '0' in the record formant ID number. Hope this helps.

jckii Posted July 21, 2003 Share Posted July 21, 2003 I've had this problem too and figured out the solution - but what would be great, is a fast way to find the specific offending door or window with the record attached, that one wants to get rid of! Is there a quick way to search it out, without scanning through the entie drawing? Quote Link to comment
Kristen Posted July 21, 2003 Share Posted July 21, 2003 You can use the schedule itself to narrow down the offending object's class, layer, & symbol type (as well as other criteria, but those are the ones I've found most useful). If you turn on data base headers in the worksheet, you can type in one of the columns =c for class =l for layer =s for symbol and it will give you that information for each object in the schedule. Look in the manual under "worksheet operations" for other criteria. Make sure you save before doing this, and revert to saved after you have that information, because you don't want to over-write your schedule. Quote Link to comment
P Retondo Posted July 22, 2003 Share Posted July 22, 2003 Wish list item: a command to turn a schedule into a regular worksheet with each cell containing an ordinary value, so that we can edit and format the worksheet at will after generating the information. Not a perfect solution, you would still have to do the conversion again after making changes, but better than the current situation. Quote Link to comment
