NumPad in ESTmep 2019 is "Transparent"

[Anonymous]

Is anyone else running into this?  Did you fix it?

We are finding that when one uses the NumPad (we use it extensively) in ESTmep 2019, that it is "transparent", meaning that in lieu of picking a button on the NumPad, it pick whatever is "beneath" the NumPad.

This is a deal breaker, and not allowing us to progress until it is fixed...

Anyone else see this?  fix this?

I'm able to duplicate this.

I have taken this as far as I can with Support.  I have an Email in to Craig Faris (I believe the Project Lead for Fabrication ESTmep) stating that we need a SP for ESTmep 2019 out quickly...

If there is anything anyone else knows that I can do to help this fix get into the next service pack, please let me know...

We are NOT able to use ESTmep 2019 until this and the Color By Legend showing up by default, is fixed...

Is there a reason you want to use 2019 EST? There's essentially nothing new on there.

Hey Darren,

Yes, actually, there were things that kept us from using 2017 and 2018...  There were some massive hanger issues (picking the wrong ancillaries) in 2018, that didn't get fixed until 2018.2. 

We are still running 2016 due to these issues, & I would like to finally have a program that is working, and not putting $1,000's of unnecessary items in our estimates (hanger issue).  

Besides, if something gets broken in 2019, & no one gets on it to get it fixed, then we will have to deal with it at a later date...

Makes sense. 

I typically do the same on the CAM side, get it in the users hands right away, leaving the prior versions of backup. Get the issue pipeline working.

I'll submit a ticket on this as well...more the better. 

I've had an open ticket for over a month on ancillaries and kits. There's nobody left @ Autodesk that seems to be able to tell me if what I'm seeing is "as designed" or a defect.   The Ancillaries are really a mess.
