I realise re: deprecation etc that it may not get addressed but Im clearly putting here...not as a feature request or anything but simply to fix what has been broken
calculations no longer seem to be processed any longer and if you run any of the legacy/component listings etc, what use to work a couple of versions ago, no longer does
eg
The new property manager etc has no way to write to files etc
Thats why the legacy is so important and more so, it deserves a revamp and finish the whole package
The legacy feature does so much more for professional office collaboration in eg project builders where bim <> estimating is a crucial link.

Specifically noted here
additionally, even just adding parenthesis in the format command breaks it

Hi Aurasphere,
Looking at an example in the Archicad Library, it works as expected.
Can you tell more about how to reproduce the issue?

Hi Peter
Sure! Sorry if this is verbose but only way I can think of including the peripherals.
1. Select the standard AC component list as note here
2. After the listing completes, inspect the displayed fields
There are no fields appearing that include any arithmetic expressions.
3. Edit the listing (of course it is built in so it wont save but this is for the purpose of investigation)
4. Create a duplicate of the graphic template and rerun the listing (which will now have a different output but same symptoms
5. Now confirm the issue by editing the current graphic template apply a basic expression to the value of the comp quantity exactly as per the pdf manual
The expression is no longer evaluated but is presented as literal string
I have older templates that were fine a number of years ago but no longer work as well.
Unless I am missing something here.
HTH.
M.

Hi @Peter Baksa
Are you able to show a screenshot of the working example on your comoputer ie Archicad/components long?
Thanks

Hi,
Expressions have to be written in (). Regardless that, this modification with the format wizard doesn't work.
The interesting thing is that there are lists which work with expressions (Rooms, Walls/Stories 2).
When I modify "Components_Keys(short).txt" in the Archicad Library folder, expressions work.
Try defining your lists in a folder, not the embedded library, does it work that way?

Hi Peter
I exclusively don't use embedded lists. They are simply in the library folder.
re (); yes that's how I originally did it but even with a simple #(2*3) it just returns a 0 in the listing. This was how all the old listings were done and previously; years ago, worked fine
I'm not using the format wizard (but of course tested using that) but I'm editing the text file externally as it is much faster in dev.
So you are saying that ArhcLib/component/keys/long displays all the fields? Mine definitely does not.
Running "Rooms/Stories" crashes every time.

Hi Peter
I have tried this but siill no solution
Are you able to send a screen shot of a working component list by keys eg of the output...as I have opened the Aus template file and it does not work here, out of the box

Hi,
this is AUS 27.5030
Opening area is calculated as window area + door area in "Archicad Library 27\List Templates 27\Templates 27\Room_Wall_Story_2.txt"

Thanks Peter, yes that is a room listing...sorry if I wasnt clear but Im not disputing those are faulty.
Even the formatting works perfectly in those
The issue Im having is anything with components.
Those blank fields use format only and it fails
