Schedule Problems

[Anonymous]

I hope someone can help,  I have created some schedules for cut list for my walls I draw, and I have a column that does the length in inches and a column that does feet and inches,  if you look at the attachement not all the measurements are converting to feet and inches,   any ideals?

The Schedule Tables in your file did not have a feet and inches column, but the PwallCutList Schedule Table Style did, and I can tell you the reason your whole number values are not showing in feet and inches format is that the values are being treated as integers, and the architectural formatting is only applied to real numbers.

I took the liberty of modifying your RoundedLength formula property, adding a CDbl() conversion to the two options that result in a whole number.  That will force the whole number values to be treated as real numbers and the architectural formatting will be applied.  See attached file.

Thanks so much, I knew there was a way to fix it.  Thanks again, this will make my production people very happy

When I copy your schedule into my drawing,  some of the feet and inches switches back to inches?

[David_W_Koch]

You need to copy the Property Set Definition that has the modified formula property, not the Schedule Table Style (or object), if you are copying it to a file that already has that Property Set Definition in it.  When copying Styles and Definitions in ACA, ACA will also copy referenced Styles/Definitions, unless there is already a Style/Definition of the same name already in the target file.

(Works the same way as nested block definitions - the local copy takes precedence, if there is one.)

How and where do I copy the property sets at?

[David_W_Koch]

Use Style Manager.  It will show all open files.  You can also "open" a file just in Style Manager, to allow access to Styles and Definitions that are not in a file you have open in the drawing editor.

On the Manage ribbon tab, on the Style & Display panel, choose the Style Manager tool to open the Style Manager.
