Joe_Carrick Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 So has anyone been able to figure out what's been done for this update? We don't have the release notes yet and I have no idea what to look for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glennw Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Joe, Lew's link has the update notes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe_Carrick Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Yep, just read the Update Notes. Some good things - but pretty dissapointed with overall content of this update. There are numerous outstanding bugs in the X6 added features that have not been addressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRAWZILLA Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 It would be nice to know exactly what happened when they say "in certain cases" and "sometimes caused" and "under certain circumstances". Also "specific cases", but maybe b/c its fixed now, does it really matter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe_Carrick Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Bug Report..... %page.print% doesn't work if included as a part of page 0. This is really the only reasonable way to use this macro IMO. Why should we need to place it individually on each page of the Layout? Basically, all other Layout macros dealing with page numbers, sheet numbers, titles, descriptions, etc are placed on page 0 and update to the appropriate information depending on what sheet is displayed or printed. This one should be the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis_Gavin Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 I no longer have the progress on a ray trace showing. ( don't know what pass it is on or how far along it is on the pass. Not Good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barton_Brown Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 I no longer have the progress on a ray trace showing. ( don't know what pass it is on or how far along it is on the pass. Not Good.

KilgoreTrout Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 My raytrace progress and layout print macros seem to both be working fine with the update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe_Carrick Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 My raytrace progress and layout print macros seem to both be working fine with the update. Have you tried the %page.print% macro assigned on page 0 of your layout? What does it show on other pages? Does it even show on page 0? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis_Gavin Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Rebooted this morning and still no ray trace progress showing. Looks like I am alone in this. Hmmmmmmmmmm........Time to call TS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glennw Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Dennis, I assume that you have your status bar displaying, but no ray trace progress in the status bar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KilgoreTrout Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Have you tried the %page.print% macro assigned on page 0 of your layout? What does it show on other pages? Does it even show on page 0? Yes. It shows the printed page number as long as the page will print otherwise it is blank. Yes. For reference, I used "printed page %page.print% of %numpages%". As far as I can tell, it works exactly like it did in 16.3 and I can't see where anything was changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis_Gavin Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Glenn - Yes it is checked to display. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe_Carrick Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Yes. It shows the printed page number as long as the page will print otherwise it is blank. Yes. For reference, I used "printed page %page.print% of %numpages%". As far as I can tell, it works exactly like it did in 16.3 and I can't see where anything was changed. Interestingly it's working for me now. Yesterday it wasn't and today it is ....... GREMLINS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GerryT Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 "Ghosts in the machine. " FYI: There is a bug in the implementation of macros, particularly on page 0 (or any template), whereby following pages may execute before page 0 so that macros, may,in effect, get lost. This is also sometimes evident in using reference macros. I expect that saving or some minor change made just repacked the sequence of objects which allowed it to start working again -- meaning it also could return. Which is why I don't believe that the present implementation of Ruby macros could be made reliable enough as the basis for any API or any other extension.

Dennis_Gavin Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 OK, got it working. WHen talking to TS for some reason I clicked the maximize button and the screen increased slightly and the status text displayed. Closed the view and redid and all was OK. So, why was the camera view not maximized on a freshly opened plan and camera view? TS said it is the default. Oh well. At least I got it fixed.

Dennis_Gavin Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 BINGO! Thanks Kilgore. How did that get checked?? Default with update?
