One feature of Land FX that I had not used until very recently is the Detail Reports. I am finding this to be highly useful, especially on a project I am currently working on that has over 400 details. I have exported the report to a spreadsheet and have been able to check and double check whether certain details are on the drawing sheets. Currently the Reports include the placed detail location (detail number and sheet), detail title, detail number (code), and any references that are in the detail. It would be nice to have the option of including some other detail related information on the Report--I am thinking specifically about the optional items that a user can enter when saving a detail, such as File Date, Drawn by:, Checked by:, and Description/Notes. Is adding this capability a possibility? Even for me, this would be a low-priority item, but it would be nice to see it added someday.
Thanks!
Thanks!
That's a great idea.
Currently the Detail Report pulls from the project database, so it is just a single quick pull. For the extended detail information, it would need to open up each detail's individual XML file -- across 400 details, that could take easily 10 or 15 seconds, even more. Obviously well worth it, but just something we'll have to be aware of, possibly necessitating a progress bar or something so users don't think it has locked up the computer.
Agreed it's not a huge priority, although it's relatively easy to implement. We'll get it on the list!
