Bug... Nate?

[Anonymous]

I've found that if you do the following in a panel dwg: - generate a BOM in tallied purchase format - add "Iitem" to the list - sort by item number (which doesn't seem to order sequentially anyways..1.2.3...10...etc..) - change the justification of the Item column from Right to (Center or Left, your choice) .... you'll leave it processing forever and AE2005 will not respond. The only way to clear this problem is to erase the pur_pbom.set file and try again. Any trick to getting the BOM to properly sort by Item and not hang when changing the justification of the column? Thanks, Omar P.S. this happened in AE2004 also. 😞

As faras the sort is concerned, you have to have placeholder "0" (zeroes) for the sort to line up correctly.

Yes, you are correct! I can get it to lock at my end too and it's now "logged". Thanks for taking the time to report this issue! Nate.
