EST-MEP 2016 designline elevation units

KennethSchwind9483 — Mon, 24 Aug 2015 14:49:45 GMT

When an elevation is entered in designline (feet and inch...ex 10'-1") it is fine and available from the drop down during the current session when working in EST. If you save, exit EST, and reopen the same maj file the elevation history is all in decimal inches. This was not a problem in 2015 but it is a huge headache in 2016 doing all that pesky math from inches to feet and inches. Same thing applies to the terminal elevation as well. All our units are set to imperial and the enter imperial dimensions are set to feet in the database. What am I missing or is this another little bug.

Hi KennethSchwind9483,

I've logged a case with the team so they are aware of the problem in ESTmep 2016 and can consider when planning for future releases.

Thank you for the feedback!

It seems Serice pack 3 fixed the units issue with elevation. Now is it possible to only have elevations show in the drop down for the active design line?

If there are several designlines with different elevations it is quite a drop down list of the elevations in the current file. Seems like in EST 2015 when you made an existing desiglne the active one, only the elevations associated with it were available in the drop down. Can this be fixed in EST 2016 (maybe next release)? Could there be an option added to the configuration to allow all elevations shown or just allow active designline elevations?
