Hot d**m there is a new library update for AC12! Let's hope the window/door issues are now resolved. From the release notes they appear to have received some GS love!

THANK YOU - THANK YOU - THANK YOU!

Yup...the new library update is only for US version, I hope for the INT version to be published soon...

Best Regards,

Just used AC12 library update and first thing I checked was of course the DH windows. Window trim over shoots are fixed, hurray!
But wait, what happened to the shutters I had on the A11 windows?
No problem, must have gotten turned off. Turn on and... uh oh they don't look the same as AC11. Ok, setting must have changed. Go and change and... argg, the shutter settings are almost all gone.

Guess someone who doesn't ever use shutters decided it was just useless code taking up space. All shutters look the same anyway, right 😛

I just downloaded 2523 for 12
the cabinets no longer work correctly and the pocket doors no longer work correctly and this is just within a couple of hours use. So I tried to reload my old library and it won't overwrite a new one, I AM UNHAPPY. I already informed my reseller and I'm letting othesr know not to update

I downloaded the latest library hotfix (INT 2523 Win).
I do appreciate the new added parameters for seperate 3D pen sill and board representation.
However, when I try modifying existing windows (f.e. W Feature 1) into W Feature 2 by injecting parameters I'm missing some of the essential sash options.
If I create a window from scratch everything works well.
Am I missing something or is this a (new) bug?

I expect to get this...

I would think in such as case that the two Windows do not have the exact same parameter set and names and this causes this result.
I would think that if you tried to inject the parameter of a single Window into another single Window that should work. But if you are trying to inject the parameters of a single Window into a double Window, that may not give the result you are looking for. See, a double Window inevitably will have a different structure, and because of that, parameter set than a single Window so parameter transfer may not work as you would expect it to.

I thought the whole point of injecting paremeters was you can start with a simple configuration (f.e. all Fixed Windows) and replace by other, more detailed, window types when the design grows. Of course you have to set extra parameters for additional options. Anyway, this is how I did before.
As far as I can tell other window types seem to act fine...

I was just trying to give some insight into how this thing works and why there are cases when it may not work the way one would think.
This parameter transfer thing works in such a way that if both objects (the one from which you transfer and the one you transfer to) have the a parameter with the same parameter name and parameter type, then that parameter value will be transferred.
A single window may have a parameters called sashwidth. But a double window may have two parameters called sashwidthleft and sashwidthright. So the value of the parameter sashwidth will not be transferred from the single window to the double window because there is no such parameter in that other window.
This is a hypothetical example but I hope you get what I am trying to say: it cannot be guaranteed that all parameters of all library parts will always be transferred to another library part that has different aspect to it.

If you start with a Fixed Window then try to inject its parameters into a double sash transom window, it is not guaranteed that the result will be what you expect, based on the things I wrote above.

Laszlo,
Thank you for the additional information.
Let me clearify my point :
When I place a new window W Feature 1 12 in my project I can easily change to W Feature 2 12 (with parameter transfer), it works fine as usual. No comments.
On the other hand, when I open existing files (before library hotfix) that have W Feature 1 12 window types in it, they no longer support the parameter transfer so I have to replace one by one and reset parameters from scratch!!!
Definitely a bug

EDIT :
Existing W1 Casement 12 > W Feature 2 12 for example works fine so it might be an issue only between the Feature window types...

OK, I don't know if this is a bug or not, I was more like trying to give you an idea of how it works.
If you think it is a bug you should definitely report it to you local reseller.

This kind of error usually points to a corrupt file. You might want to try downloading again.
