Support Isometric SKEY Value Overridden

[jabowabo]

My SKEY values for some of my supports are being overriden when I create an iso.  The attached picture shows the SKEY in the properties palette as 'DMMY' but the value in the .pcf file is shown as 'DUCK'.  Can anyone explain why?

It's really hard to answer "why was something done this way" questions. I'd have to track down the developer who wrote the code and they'd have to remember why they did something four or five years ago. I suspect it's because when we implemented this we were using Isogen and it only allowed for a few SKEYs for supports. 

What do you need? More types of supports?

I want to use different Iso blocks for dummy legs. Since the key I put in is being overridden it doesn't look possible.

I had wondered why this wasn't working.  I agree, this should be fixed as the DUCK will place a foot on the dummy leg.

Has this ever been fixed?

I'm running 2016 now and this still seems to be an issue.  Unless something is wrong on my end.

Notice the SKEY in model properties and what the PCF magically becomes. 

Wrong block is inserted into model.
