9

7/23)

08/18/23 - Fixed Packages > STRATUS Sheets Report Fields Issue

Fixed a Packages > STRATUS Sheets issue where Report Fields did not report correctly.

08/18/23 - Fixed Issue with API: /v1/package/{orderID}/report/{reportID}

08/18/23 - Added CSG Trainers to Help Page

Added Frank Scott and Trent Leinenbach as contacts to company help pages to which they are assigned.

08/18/23 - Fixed Project Role Issue

Fixed a Project Role issue where a user with only Assemblies > Viewer permissions received an error.

08/18/23 - Fixed Assemblies Viewer Issue Reloading the Model

Fixed Assemblies Viewer issue where after switching to a different assembly within the same View, the 3D viewer reloaded the model and then displayed the assembly. With this fix, when the assembly within the same View, it will display almost instantly. If the newly selected assembly uses a different View, then the model will need to be reloaded before the assembly displays. For example:

  1. The SA-0001 Assembly displays in the 3D View.

  2. Before this fix, after switching to the REV-001 Assembly the Powered by Autodesk logo would display indicating the model was being reloaded.

08/19/23 - Fixed Reference Points for Grid Offset Not Same for Identical Parts

Prior to fix:

After fix:

08/19/23 - Fixed Hanger Rod Points Not Reporting Consistently

With this fix ITM hangers with 2 rods will report the coordinates for C2 and C3 in the correct order.

08/19/23 - Fixed Assemblies > Viewer: Assembly Dropdown Sort Order

Fixed an Assemblies > Viewer issue where the Assembly dropdown sorted assemblies randomly (below) rather than in the correct sort order.

08/23/23 - Removed the STRATUS Addin Update Required Button

Removed the STRATUS Addin Up To Date and Update Required buttons (below). These notifications and actions can no longer be used with the new WinGet installation process. See the Installation of GTP Software on Windows article for more information.

08/25/23 - Fixed a ZPL Report Issue Not Running on Selected Parts

Fixed a ZPL report issue where running a ZPL report using the Action toolbar, the report runs for the whole model instead of the visible or selected parts.

08/25/23 - Fixed a ZPL Report Issue with STRATUS.Field.*

Fixed a ZPL Report issue where STRATUS.Field.* fields no longer work on ZPL report labels.

08/25/23 - Fixed an Issue With Authoring Software is Always Right for Naming and Numbering

Fixed an issue under Admin > Company > Naming and Numbering > Numbering Rules > Authoring Software is Always Right > Part Filter. With this fix, when an Authoring Software is Always Right rule that incorporates a STRATUS.Filter that looks for a specific “Service Type” and parts match the filters, then it will not get an item number. For example:

  1. Create or edit a Filter that filters by ServiceType.

  2. Add a Numbering Rule in the Authoring Software is Always Right section.

  3. Add the Numbering Rule to a Numbering Scheme.

  4. Prior to this fix, parts that should have been filtered out were receiving an item number.

  5. With this fix, parts that should be filtered out are not receiving an item number.

 

08/25/23 - Fixed an Assemblies Dashboard Issue Where Updating Field A did not Update Field B

Fixed an Assemblies Dashboard issue where updating STRATUS.Field A did not update STRATUS.Field B. For example:

  1. Configure 2 fields with one field referencing another field.

  2. Add these fields to an Report where:

    1. Item Type = Assembly

    2. Assemblies Dashboard = checked

  3. In the Assemblies Viewer, select the report. Enter a value in STRATUS.Field A. It should immediately update STRATUS.Field B.

08/30/23 - Fixed Issue Switching to a Project from an Assembly

Fixed an issue using the Project drop-down to switch to a different Project while in the Assemblies > Viewer. In this case, after the new Project loaded, “All Models” was selected in the Models drop-down. Since STRATUS would not know which model, package, or assembly to selected, this switch often ended up in an error. With this fix, when the user changes to a new Project, instead of selecting All Models, the first model (alphabetic) will be selected and if the model has an assembly, the first assembly (alphabetic) will be selected. If the model does not have an assembly, the Assemblies > Dashboard will display.

08/31/23 - Added Preview and Download All Attachments Options from Dashboards

Added the ability to download one or All attachments from all Dashboards (Packages, Assemblies, and Containers).

The Report had the following settings:

  • Merge Like Values = Yes

  • Aggregate = Sum

  • Format = FeetInchFraction

  • Precision = 2

The report now displays the correct value including the fraction.

09/06/23 - Fixed a Lighting Publish Issue

Fixed a Lighting publish issue.

09/07/23 - Fixed Assembly Parts Not Displaying in Non-Default View

When a model is be published with multiple views, and one of them is determined by the Autodesk viewer to be the default. The issue that was fixes fixed occurred when an assembly was created in a non-default View, the part would not display in the Assemblies > Viewer. For example:

  1. The default view is Full Model

  2. User A with permission (Ex. Project Admin) to change Views, changed the View (Ex. Top Half) and created an assembly.

  3. User B, opened the assembly and the default View was used instead of the View User A had created the assembly in so the parts were filtered out.

  4. With this fix the View correctly changed for the User B when the Assemblies > Viewer is opened.

09/21/23 - Added Division Drop-down during Package Creation

Added to the Models > Viewer > Actions > Packages dialog the Division drop-down.

09/21/23 - Fixed Assemblies > Viewer Annotation Issue

Fixed an issue in the Assemblies > Viewer where after adding an Annotation Tag in Assembly A, then switching to Assembly B, the Annotation tag remained in the view. As a result, it is no longer necessary to refresh the Assembly B Viewer page to remove Annotation Tags placed on Assembly A.

09/21/23 - Fixed Assemblies > Viewer > STRATUS Sheet Property Display

Fixed an issue displaying the STRATUS.Assembly.TrackingStatusLogDivision property on the Assemblies > Viewer > STRATUS Sheet.

09/21/23 - Fixed a Dimensioning Issue

Fixed an issue under Assemblies > Viewer > Dimensioning, where dimensioning worked within Assembly A, but after switching to Assembly B, the snap point nodes did not display.

09/21/23 - Updated Extract Geometry

09/21/23 - Updated Top Navigation to Specify the Package

With this update, STRATUS will recognize when users are working with a package and store the last opened or refreshed package as the active package. As a result, when the user clicks a link to an assembly, the active package will carryover and be selected in the Package drop-down. Otherwise, the Package will be set to Unspecified.

For example:

  1. The user is working in this Package and can click any of these assembly links.

  2. The assembly will display in the Assemblies > Viewer and the Package drop-down will carryover.

09/21/23 - Fixed an Issue Automatically Generating Package Reports

Fixed an issue automatically generating package reports. Known Issue: There is a known issue automatically generating Package Reports where the selected report’s Item Type is Master. This will be fixed in a future release.

See the article Generate on Tracking Status (Report) for more information.

10/02/23 - Fixed an Issue with Tracking Status “Applies to” (Part, Assembly, Package) Setting

Fixed an issue under Admin > Company > Tracking Statuses where the Applies to (Part, Assembly, Package) was not displayed or hidden in one of the Viewers or Dashboards when changing tracking status. The Applies to settings tell STRATUS that a particular tracking status can or can't be applied to a Part, Assembly, or Package.

10/02/23 - Fixed an Issue where Advanced Estimating Values Did Not Populate a New Package

Under Admin > Company > Package Categories, administrators can configure Advanced Estimating for Office, Purchasing, Shop, Field, and other User Data fields. While a package is being created, these values change dynamically as parts are selected for the package. An issue was fixed where these values did not populate the while the package was being created. See the Advanced Estimating article for more information.

10/02/23 - Fixed an Issue Displaying Assemblies Alphanumerically when Package Switched

Fixed an issue displaying assemblies alphanumerically when the Package is switched in the Assemblies > Viewer. In this example, after the Package was switched, 001 should display, not 002. See the Open Assembly article for more information.

10/02/23 - Fixed an Issue Limiting Assembly Drop-down to Selected Package

Fixed an issue where the Assembly drop-down displayed all packages and assemblies even when a specific package had been selected.

In the example below the issue is that a Package is selected yet all assemblies from different packages display.

With this fix, the list of assemblies are limited to those within the selected Package.

10/02/23 - Fixed an Issue with Remembering Show Selection

Fixed an issue on the Packages > Dashboard and Assemblies > Dashboard with remembering the user’s Show selection.

Fixed an issue for MAJ parts that contain links to the Part, Assembly, and Package that opens the QR Code for the link clicked.

For example:

  1. This newly generated MAJ opened in CAMduct consistently displays:

    1. Links #1 = Part QR Code

    2. Links #2 = Assembly QR Code

    3. Links #3 = Package QR Code

  2. When clicked the QR Code Scanned page will display.

10/11/23 - Fixed a Mobile Dropdown Scrolling Issue

Fixed a mobile (tables or ipad) issue scrolling in the Package and Assembly drop-downs in the viewers.

10/11/23 - Added API Parameter excludeNullAndEmpty

Added to the OpenAPI the optional excludeNullAndEmpty parameter to the following calls which provides a nice performance boost for API customers.

GET /v1/assembly/{id}/parts
GET /v1/model/{id}/parts
GET /v2/package/{id}/parts
GET /v1/part
GET /v1/part/{qrcode}
GET /v2/part/{id}

10/16/23 - Fixed Size of GTP Quick Pass QR Code

Increased the size of the GTP Quick Pass QR Code.

10/19/23 - Fixed STRATUS.Part.GridOffset Value Display

Fixed an issue for CADmep models where STRATUS.Part.GridOffset values did not display for CID 838. Below the values correctly display.

10/23/23 - Fixed Date Picker on Assemblies Viewer

Fixed an issue on the Assemblies Viewer where the Date Picker did not display when a Date field was used in either the Report Field or the Field.

The date field can be referenced in 2 ways:

  1. The date field can be referenced in the Report Field Format.

    1. Configure Report and Report Field where:

      1. Item Type = Part

      2. Assembly Viewer = Checked

      3. Format = Date

    2. Configure referenced Field (Ex. STRATUS.Field.DateTest) where:

      1. Data Type = String

      2. Expression = References one of the assembly’s part properties (Ex. EquipmentTag).

  2. The date field can be referenced in the Field Data Type.

    1. Configure Report and Report Field where:

      1. Item Type = Part

      2. Assembly Viewer = Checked

      3. Format = String

    2. Configure referenced Field (Ex. STRATUS.Field.DateTest) where:

      1. Data Type = Date

      2. Expression = References one of the assembly’s part properties (Ex. EquipmentTag).

  3. For either configuration option, run the Report. The field is editable and pops up the date picker.

10/23/23 - Fixed a Rounding Issue Calculating a Field Expression Value

Fixed an issue rounding a calculated field expression value in a report. In the example below, the field had previously displayed 8.00 but now correctly displays 7.90.

To update any report data on the Packages Dashboard or Assemblies Dashboard, click the Clear Cached Calculated Field Values and Reload Data Tablebutton.

10/23/23 - Fixed Send to Tool Issue in Assemblies Viewer

Fixed an issue in the Assemblies > Viewer > Parts where the Send to Tool button was missing. This issue only occurred when one or more report fields had the Hidden checkbox checked.

10/27/23 - Fixed Editable Field in Assemblies Viewer Parts Table

Fixed an Assemblies Viewer Parts table issue where an editable Field that had a semi-colon list of possible values was not editable.

  1. Below is an example of this type of field.

  2. The field is editable and includes the Possible Values in the Assemblies Viewer Parts table.

  3. See the Possible Values section of the Fields (Admin) article for more information.

10/27/23 - Fixed Issue Generating MAJ When Multiple ESJ Files Exist

Fixed an issue generating a MAJ file with the correct parts when multiple ESJ files exist. This issue was resolved by using the last modified ESJ file.

10/27/23 - Added Omit Page If Report(s) Are Empty Option

Added to Admin > Company > Templates, the Omit page if Report(s) are empty option under Page Properties. With this option checked, the page will display if any reports configured on the page include data, if not the page will be omitted and not display.

For example:

  1. Template Setup = CSG _ MEP _ Hanger Fabrication - This template has 2 pages. Each page includes a report and the Omit page if Report(s) are empty option under Page Properties. By default the Omit page if Report(s) are empty option is unchecked.

  2. Unchecked - Omit page if Report(s) are empty - When the Omit page if Report(s) are empty option is unchecked, the STRATUS Sheet will display a page regardless if report data exists.

    1. Page 1 - includes a secondary report for Single Rod hangers which exist in the selected package.

    2. Page 2 - includes a secondary report for Trapeze hangers which do not exist in the selected package. However, since Omit page if Report(s) are empty option is unchecked, the page still displays.

  3. Checked - Omit page if Report(s) are empty - When the Omit page if Report(s) are empty option is checked, the STRATUS Sheet will display a page only if report data if it exists (Ex. Page 1), but not if no data exists (Ex. Page 2).

    1. Page 1 - includes a secondary report for Single Rod hangers which exist in the selected package.

    2. Page 2 - includes a secondary report for Trapeze hangers which do not exist in the selected package. Since Omit page if Report(s) are empty option is checked, this page does not display in the STRATUS Sheet.

  4. If a secondary report is added to Page 2 that includes data from the selected package, then the page will display. So each report placed on page is evaluated to determine if it should be omitted if the report is empty.

Not Yet Released

10/31/23 - Added to OpenAPI Package Filter Arguments

Added the following optional filter arguments to the OpenAPI Package Dashboard call GET /v1/package/dashboard:

  • businessUnits

  • divisions

  • packageCategories
