BUG: Legacy Layout listings broken

Aurasphere
Expert

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

Aurasphere_0-1719797258553.png

 

 

 

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

 

  • WYWSWIG graphic editor for layouts
  • Ability to attach multiple components/descriptors directly to elements/objects and allow property objects for common recipes

 

The legacy feature does so much more for professional office collaboration in eg project builders where bim <> estimating is a crucial link.

Hi,

 

In the case of "Components/Keys (long)" the formatting is fine, it is the referenced field that is not correct.

Instead

Format "^Total[7]:8.2 #unit[7]"
Format "^Total[5]:8.2 #unit[5]"

works as I'd expect. Adding an expression is also ok:

Format "^(Total[5]+3):8.2 #unit[5]"

The .lis file contains the order of the data:

	7	3003	0	00000019
		3004	0	00000019
		3005	0	00000019
		3001	0	00000019
		3002	0	00000019
		3006	0	00000019
		3007	0	00000019

means the fifth field is 3002: Component quantity and the seventh field is 3007: Component reference unit
