Replace
« on: September 13, 2016, 11:17:40 AM »
Is there a reason I can not replace a range of Stages in my program.

I have a program "Hydraulics" I want to insert more stages. I bring up the box. Type in Hydraulics.s5, all is good, I get the green dot. Number of elements, I get ???.

I can only replace one stage with another not a range.

I am spoiled. In DS5 I could say replaced or swap S5 through S10 With starting S11.

same thing is happening in the add document record
Trying to add a range of stages.

Funny thing is I enter Hydraulics.S10, end at Hydraulic.S20. I get green lights on both, but the add button is greyed out. Why get the green lights if the add button is greyed out. I only get the close button.

I am entering them one at a time. Fun.

The stage bits are actually structure fields, not a block of bits (like X, Y).  So technically, they are not "ranged" architecturally (but they really are conceptually).

We can definitely look at addressing that.

Or just implement the stage management facility that has been requested several times. That's what he really trying to do.
