SHOWING SEPARATE SYMBOLS IN THE SCHEDULES

Anonymous — Fri, 07 Aug 2015 12:28:01 GMT

I have a problem;
I created some electrical objects with the 2d symbol made with FRAGMENT2 in the 2d script with them different visualizations inside "parameters"; a thing like "Realistic","Electrical Symbol", etc.: now, how cancan they be shown by different fragments when I create a schedule or a list?

Attached I show the 4 symbols(created on 4 different fragments) of a single object but obviously the list or the schedule will show me the combination chosen inside "parameters" and not the count of every single fragment.

Thanks

You will need to tell the object what to show in the schedule.
Some thing like............

IF GLOB_CONTEXT = 6 THEN !Schedule
"draw is"
ENDIF

Give it a try.

but in the "draw is" should I put like"fragment2 x,1"?

Maybe you should also create a parameter to control the symbol in the Schedule. It would basically be the same as the other parameter controlling its 2D Symbol type, but would be used only in the context of the Schedule.
Something like this in the 2D Script:

IF GLOB_CONTEXT = 6 THEN
   IF ScheduleSymbolType = "Realistic" THEN
        FRAGMENT2 1,1
   ENDIF
   IF ScheduleSymbolType = "Electrical Symbol" THEN
        FRAGMENT2 2,1
   ENDIF
ENDIF

It works thanks, but in a different way; the problem to solve is to make the Schedule counting how many times is placed a single component.
For example, in a plate I could have a power point and a socket; I have 15 of them in my project. the Schedule or the list is always showing me it as 15 linked objects named "Plate with 1 power point and 1 socket"; my target is to reach a schedule showing me that I have 15 power points and 15 sockets.

There's a plugin who manages to do this, but not with objects that I need.

Hope I've been clear and thanks again for helping me
