ID manager in 15 lists backwards

[Barry Kelly]

Can anyone else please confirm or deny this problem I seem to be having.

Window 7 64 bit
Achicad 15 - AUS build 3602

ID manager lists the door IDs in reverse order.
In the example attached I selected the doors from left to right but ID manager lists them from right to left.
No matter which order I select them it does the opposite.

The odd thing is it was working fine on another machine with build 3006.
I upgraded that to build 3602 and now that is back to front as well.
So I am assuming the hotfix broke it.

I noticed this as well (AC15).

Thanks Marc.
So it is not just a Windows problem either.
I will report it as a bug then.

Kevin,

Any news on a possible Element ID Manager fix?

Thanks,

Haven't used this for awhile.
Now it doesn't work at all... forward or backward.

I can change the ID format, but it won't change
the numbering order (i.e. ascending order as selected).

Can anyone confirm?

Marc -

I got your email asking me to look at this thread and check out the functionality of the Element ID Manager.

I just tried this in AC16 build 3487 on my Mac OS 10.7 and it appears to work the way it should.

Make sure you are setting the ID format in the manager, and setting it to number elements uniquely (rather than grouping them and numbering them the same if they appear to be the same type and size) before you tell ArchiCAD to renumber them.

Yes. Done as you say... but still not working.

To be more specific.... Windows are not re-numbered in the order in which they were selected.
They do however, re-number.

EDIT:
And I still get a bug when inputing "ID Components".
The box goes blank, so I toggle to "Sort Elements" and then back to "ID Format".... then I can input the text/counter number.

Hi Marc -

I tried it again, and everything works as it should. ID's are updated based on the selection sequence as expected.

I recorded a very short demonstration (using Jing, a free screen capture tool):
