        Do you have the latest version [v1.4] ?
        Do you use a ',' as a decimal-separator - instead of '.' ?
        Although I have tested it in both formats and it works for me.
        The 'headings' which are converted are the columns X Y Z LENX LENY LENZ and VOLUME ?
        Are yours ?
        Can you send me the original report CSV [in inches] by Private Message, so I can look into it...

          Here's v1.5 http://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=TIG_ReportConverter
          Have have finally tracked down the issue with failures in some locales...
          Turns out that although X/Y/Z and LENX etc are common headings in the Generated Report, other headings may be changed to suit a locale - so EN-US's 'ENTITY VOLUME' becomes 'ELEMENTVOLUMEN' in German etc.
          The headings are used to find the columns to adjust as the Volume is not consistently put in Column-G.
          This fix now looks for a match to /[Vv][Oo][Ll][Uu][Mm][Ee]/ in the column header [this applies to all Latin based alphabets], or a match to 'Volume' translated into various other locales - like RU,JA,KO,CH
          Hopefully this will now resolve the issues reported from other locales...

            I'm afraid my english doesn't reach a disussion.
            But the image shows more than words can say.

            Hope this is helpful.


            Importing with LibreOffice (OpenSorce)


            Converter v1.5


            Last but not least the Faktor!

              OK Barbara[D],
              I guess this is a follow up from an earlier discussion, 'elsewhere'.

              I believe that the Generate-Report CSV made in the German locale still uses '.' as the decimal separator.
              Your Excel setting might well then display the data using ,
              I am aware of the two competing conventions for decimal-points [. versus ,] and separating 'thousands':
              UK/USA etc 1,234.5 or 1 234.5
              and EU etc 1.234,5 or 1 234,5
              But as far as I can see those settings don't affect the original CSV format.
              It is not formatted to locale in the original CSV or the converted version.

              If you use the v1.5 is it converted OK ?
              That is, inches >>> metres !
              The 'format' is unchanged.
              Can you post the original CSV and the converted CSV.
              ZIP then so they can be attached to a post.
              You'll probably need to get at least one more post approved by an Admin before you can make attachments...

                Will the Plugin contain "zh-tw" in future?
                Chinese characters be replaced by '?'

                  It's hard to fix non-ASCII characters in the reports.
                  The best it can do is not-trip up on them.
                  Also with <= v2013 I think it would not be possible at all.
                  My only intention is to change lengths and volumes from the default 'inches' into the user's choice - say 'meters'.

                    hello - i installed this plugin and it does a great job - many thanx
                    yet - i went to great trouble to have the 'dot' or '.' that i have on teh numeric key pad to make a 'comma' so that it would work in a spreadsheet to seperate entires from decimals in the language setting - i believe - that i have.
                    now, after applying the plugin, the colums for values come with the 'dot'seperator --- uuuugh
                    so - may spreadsheet program sees them as texts and not as numbers - bugger.

                    can i fix this without changing the setting i went through trouble to make?

                    many thanx

                      I will make a new modell without IFC import. Maybe it will be easier to read.

                      Edit:
                      v1.5 almost perfect now.
                      By importing, I forgot to unhock the space seperator.
                      In colum A there are more words with space. That toggled the colums.
                      Don't really need colum A + B. What are they for? Rather groups and komponents would be helpfull.

                      Edit:
                      Hi TIG,
                      what happend to the Report in SU 2016? That's nothing I would need. 👿
                      The Converter dosen't work anymore. What a pitty. 😢


                      Made new files and it looks much better. Congratulations it is Meter.
