Dynamic component formulas resetting?
-
Has anyone had their formulas written in dynamic components disappear?
I created a DC, wrote formulas for several of the values, and the next time I opened it, there was a set value where the formula used to be.

Hmm, I have not seen that before Dan.

Wouldn't just be the [ =ƒx] button is off? (In the upper-right corner of the Attributes editor dialog.)

what jim said. By default it'll always display the straight values, you can either double click on the relevant field to see the formula or click the f(x) button as jim suggested.
-
I did verify by clicking the display formula button, and by double clicking on the field where the formula is entered, that the formula is gone, and a set value has replaced it.
I also noticed because the function the formula performs stopped working upon re-open.
Strange.

Could you post the component by any chance?

I dont know if it is the same thing, but I made some dynamic windows. I needed 3 different versions e.g casement sliding and awning. the windows did not need animation just sizing and costs attached. I made the first DC and basically copied and changed attributes to suit. This works fine when I need all sliding on the job but when I need a combination of several I find that the code reverts back to the original DC file i copied originally. I ended up redoing all 3 versions of windows from scratch, as no matter what I did I could never gethem to work (in the same model anyway)
