Allplan Forum: something wrong with setting calculation mode to "piece"?

Hello everyone, sometimes when change the measurement units (calculation mode attribute) in a smartpart or in a macro too, to put “pieces” instead of “m3” for example, you can change it without problem, and in fact when exporting the data to Excel the units appear as “pieces”, but nevertheless if we consult the attributes again inside Allplan )Modify attributes) it will still remaining them in “m3”. Depending also on the installation language, and perhaps the query mode in some cases these individual units appear as "St." or "Pc" or "Pieces", however the rest of the units "m3", "m2" or "m" always appear correctly. Are there any known bugs about this?
Thanks!

Hi Antolí, like you have mentioned it seems to be language related (in German it is not reproducible) - you are using Spain? Or English?

Both, English and Spanish, and in both exist the same problem with the difference that the English value is named as "Pc" or "Pieces" and in Spanish are named as "Pzs" or "Piezas" and "St" if exported to a Excel file.

Thanks Rainer!

Hi,

It is the same trouble in French too. "m3" comes back each time I change to "Qt" (Quantité = Quantity). I think this is due to the translated value (It works correctly with "m", "m2", "kg"). The procedure doesn't take account of the translated value.

Thanks to both of you, this might be an important hint to fix that problem...
