ADDED The package and assembly viewers now support viewing image files (.png and .jpg) as attachments for packages and assemblies that do not contain parts.

update Empty assemblies can now be seen in Package Assembly report tables.

Fixed In rare cases, Assembly Stratus Sheets in a Master Report were showing annotation lines from the Package Assembly Tags when run from the package viewer or as an automated report generated by Tracking Status changes configured in the Package Categories tab of the Company Admin.

Fixed Increased performance in the speed of creating assemblies and displaying certain reports.

06 November 2024 - 7.5.1014 (Release was rolled back to 7.5.1013)

update The first phase of a long-term effort towards simplifying our reporting engine codebase has gone live.

Increased performance in the speed of creating assemblies and displaying certain reports.

Fixed Fixed an issue running a report that includes a Field with an Alias.

24 October 2024 - 7.5.1013

update Updated Part Report > Report Fields where Aggregate is either Sum or Average and Merge Like Values is set to Yes to ensure that the total is based on having a common Description, Material and Size.

update Updated backend report engine code. This change may impact client code written against our Open API for pulling down reports.

Warning: When generating reports with the Open API, some fields will now result in strings being empty vs. null. This change may impact client parsing software that operates on data from our Open API.

Fixed Fixed an issue selecting nested families in a Viewer Filter.

Fixed Fixed an issue adding/removing nested family parts to/from an assembly or package.

Fixed Fixed a Container Details report issue when a Report Fields Merge Like Values was set to Yes, the report now displays the merged sum and quantity.

Fixed Fixed an issue where a Filters Grouping was applied to a ZPL (label) report, the alphanumeric order was incorrect.

Fixed Fixed an Admin > Company > Part Templates issue where after selecting 2 or more Parts, then in the Shared Properties tab editing a property, the edits now correctly save for the selected parts.

14 October 2024 - 7.5.1011

ADDED A new Field format called QRCode has been added to reports. When this format is used in a report, the value of the field/property will be rendered as a QR code in the Stratus UI and in generated PDFs. When the report type is CSV, the value of the field/property will still be rendered as a string.

ADDED New API call for creating a new assembly.

• POST /v1/model/{id}/assembly

ADDED 2 new API endpoints used to automate project import from Autodesk and project creation in Stratus and control over project role assignments for the new project.

• GET /v1/project/autodesk-projects

• POST /v1/project

ADDED A new tool type called “Lockformer Spiral” has been added.

ADDED AsMetric() Field Function which converts a numeric value from feet units to metric mm, cm, or m units and also control the number of decimal places displayed in the resulting string.

Examples:
AsMetric({Length})

AsMetric({Length},2)

AsMetric({Length},2,2)

where the 2nd and 3rd arguments are optional as specified above

ADDED Markups Project Role permissions (Create & Edit, Delete, and View) in both Assemblies and Packages Attachments.

update Admin > Company > Big Data > Analytics Reports to include Service Principal Authentication fields (Optional).

update Publish to include the Fabrication Data property “Item Drawing Name” value which will display in Stratus Properties.

ADDED In data tables such as the package dashboard or parts reports, when certain report fields are merged, the values in the cells of the non-merged report fields will be organized in alpha-numerical order. For example, if there is a report with a column merged based on ‘Stratus.Part.Number’ and another column for ‘Material,’ the values within the ‘Material’ column will be sorted alpha-numerically. This means that within the ‘Material’ column, ‘Carbon Steel’ would be listed before ‘Copper’ due to the alpha-numerical sorting criteria applied to that field.
