Items Types Support via Cell Placement and Cell Replacer

TWalters — Mon, 21 Nov 2016 19:40:13 GMT

I have some 3D cells for standard UDOT Sign Panels and Post. I opened the cell library up and added item type information to each cell. If I open my original signing file and run cell replacer to update the cells, the graphics updates but the item type information does not show up. I also tried just placing a new cell and the item type data does not place with a new cell. Frankly this is a major weakness. We are going to want to be able to place the data with the cells. There should be a checkbox that lets you include the item type information when you place the cell and cell replacer should let you strip, or override/update these items.

Text Notes randomly get large margins

Zachary Billings — Thu, 11 Apr 2019 18:25:52 GMT

This has happened to me before, but I think I just ended up replacing the afflicted notes. I always place my text notes using FDOT (Small) Text Style and Note-Line Dimension Style. Every now and then, some of the notes end up like those in the picture below that have must larger margins that they are supposed to have, even though it does not appear either of those styles have been modified.

Has anyone encountered this issue and been able to fix it?

Thanks

Backing up files.

Mitch Cannon — Thu, 05 Nov 2015 13:27:18 GMT

Do to SS4 crashing frequently, I am looking for a macro that we can run either manually or at frequent times to keep a good copy thru out the day of the file that we are working on at any given time. We are currently using the command line key in with the following format: Backup Filename_Date_Time.dgn. Example: dsgnrd01.dgn would be backed up as Backup dsgnrd01_20151105_1139.dgn. At the end of the day, we delete all but the newest one. My thinking is to incorporate it into the menu of the mouse so that the user can right click and select Backup and have the rest fill in for them. In addition a MDL that ran at startup that backed up every 30 minutes or hour.

Anyone have a suggestion?

Problem with Rebar Program and Table Text

TWalters — Thu, 02 Jul 2015 18:55:48 GMT

Trying to assist our structures folks ( and I am out of my depth here) with a issue they are having with the Rebar program. When they generate a report then click the Chart button all the text is pilled up on top. If I refresh the Text Style the text goes back to being inline but is still not where it needs to be and not justified properly. See screen shot. Is anyone else experiencing this issue? Same issue in SS2 and SS3.
