Added Item Number Bubble Background Color Transparency Option

Added a Transparency Option to the Item Number Bubble Background Color View Style. To use this option, you’ll need to:

Create or edit a View Style
Create or edit a Template that uses the View Style.
Create or edit a Report that uses the Template.

Once the above are configured, to use the Transparency option:

Go to Admin > Company > View Styles.
For the View Style that will be configured for the Transparency Option, scroll to the Item Number Bubble Background Color column.
Click the drop-down. A palette of colors can be selected. Note the rgba configuration for the selected color. The “a” value is used to indicate the transparency where 1 is 0% transparency and 0 is 100% transparency. Decimals between 0 and 1 (0.1, 0.25, 0.50, 0.75, etc.) can be used to set the tranparency percent.
In this example, the “a” value has been set to 0.25. Note how the color to the right of the rgba value changes.
When applied to an STRATUS Sheet in the Assemblies > Viewer, the transparency displays for the Item Number Bubble Color. With this transparency value set to 0.25, you can see that the other lines can be seen through the bubble color.

Added to the Assemblies Dashboard the #Parts Column

Added to the Assemblies Dashboard the #Parts column to display the number of parts in the assembly.

Updated Data Sent from Spool Checker to PSVR/3DPP Files

Changes have been made to how the data from Spool Checker content modifications carry to PSVR/3DPP files. The changes allow modifications at either end of the pipe to be reconciled with relative dimensional references. For the initiated, lengths can now be affected at either the C1 or C2 end vs what used to be just the C2 end. This just means that length will be taken up or given on the correct end of the pipe depending on the locked part scenario you are dealing with in the spool checker. This brings feature parity to ITM and Revit pipe for multi-axis pipe cut file generation.

You can see 2” being taken off of either end of what was originally a 60” part in in the screenshots below:

Updated Annotation Tags

Updated the Annotation Tags workflow which is used to manually apply annotation to parts. By default, an Annotation Tag prefix will not display. A prefix and a prefix label override can be applied as needed. To use the Annotation Tags feature:

In the Assemblies > Viewer, click the Item Number Tool button.
Click the Annotation Tag button.
In the Annotation Tags dialog, select, for example, an Annotation Type (Properties) and a Property (Diameter).
Select a part in the assembly and the Annotation Tag will not display a prefix.
Alternatively, to display the prefix tag, check the Display the Prefix on Annotation Tags checkbox. The Override checkbox will also display.
Select a part in the assembly and the Annotation Tag prefix will display.
To Override the Prefix label, check the Override checkbox.
Enter the Label that will display on this Annotation Tag.
Select a part in the assembly and the and the Annotation Tag will display with the override.

Fixed an Auto Assemblies Issue

Fixed an Auto-Assemblies issue where a message similar to the following erroroneously displayed while using the tool. The Auto Assemblies feature should work in the Models > Viewer or the Packages > Viewer as described in the Create Assemblies article.

Fixed an Auto-dimension Issue Dimensioning To Tees

Fixed an Assemblies Viewer issue where after clicking the Run Auto-dimension Routine button, the tool did not dimension to Tees. This issue is fixed in the example below.

Fixed a Publish Issue Where Duct Fabrication Parts Did Not Display Properties

Fixed a Publish issue where Duct Fabrication parts did not display properties. Properties now display on Duct Fabrication parts.

Fixed a Cut List Issue for Connectors and Stiffeners

Fixed a Cut List issue for Connectors and Stiffeners where a publish would only extract cut list data if the duct originated from a service that was in the “ADSK - HVAC“ group and if the Service Type was “Rectangular Duct“. The publish now accounts for the services “H-Duct” and “Duct - Rectangular”. If your services are named “H-Duct” or “Duct - Rectangular” please republish the model.

Fixed a Master/Subreport Issue

Fixed a Master/Subreport issue under a Package’s Attachments tab where after running a Master Report, the Master report was correctly created and attached, but, the Subreport was separately created and attached. This Subreport is no longer created.

Fixed a Packages Dashboard Required Date Issue

Fixed a Packages Dashboard issue where after the Required date was set by User A it displayed fine, however, when User B opened the Dashboard, the date displayed the previous day.

Fixed a STRATUS Cutting Workstation Filter/Bundle Issue

Fixed a STRATUS Cutting Workstation issue where after Filtering Cut Lists by Package, then using the Bundle option the cut list redisplayed. The following workflow works correctly now:

Filter Cut Lists by Package
Use the Bundle option to bundle a cut list.
Cut the cut list.
Remove or change the Filter from step 1.
The remaining cut lists display. Note: The bundled cut list does not redisplay.

Fixed a STRATUS Cutting Workstation Cut List Selection Issue

Fixed a STRATUS Cutting Workstation issue where a different cut list was not clickable when the next piece to be cut was a full length piece of pipe.

Fixed an Assembly Auto-Dimension Issue with Taps

Fixed an issue where assemblies with taps were not producing dimensions as a part of the Auto-Dimension tool.
