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:

The SA-0001 Assembly displays in the 3D View.
Before this fix, after switching to the REV-001 Assembly the Powered by Autodesk logo would display indicating the model was being reloaded.

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:

Create or edit a Filter that filters by ServiceType.
Add a Numbering Rule in the Authoring Software is Always Right section.
Add the Numbering Rule to a Numbering Scheme.
Prior to this fix, parts that should have been filtered out were receiving an item number.
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:

Configure 2 fields with one field referencing another field.
Add these fields to an Report where:
1. Item Type = Assembly
2. Assemblies Dashboard = checked
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).

09/05/23 - Fixed Sum Issue on Report

Fixed an issue where on the Packages > Viewer > Parts table where the report summed FeetInchFraction, but did not correctly calculate the fractions.

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 fixed occurred when an assembly was created in a non-default View, the part would not display in the Assemblies > Viewer. For example:

The default view is Full Model
User A with permission (Ex. Project Admin) to change Views, changed the View (Ex. Top Half) and created an assembly.
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.
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.

1. The message will display.
2. Click Ok.
The icon will change to Processing.
Refresh the page. When complete the Completed icon will display.

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:

The user is working in this Package and can click any of these assembly links.
The assembly will display in the Assemblies > Viewer and the Package drop-down will carryover.

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.

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.

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:

The date field can be referenced in the Report Field Format.
1. Configure Report and Report Field where:
  1. Item Type = Part
