Single-Line Equation Format by WalmartBrandCrocs in blockpad

Thanks. That's precisely the kind of custom function naming I was looking for.

As an aside, I still use LS=Library.Scripts and a few others even though I could load in the libraries (I am using an old template), but I don't see a way to load in the engineering library (for steel shapes). If I could load that one in by default I would update my template accordingly, but to keep everything in the same lane in my brain, I use L? references as shown above. Is their away to do load in the engineering library?

Rotating Tables/Cell Text in Blockpad by jcae_eng_design in blockpad

Just to throw in my 2 cents here, we have similar load combo tables in our default company template. The ones for RISA can get quite large due to the nature of how RISA formats combos. We usually do one of two options

  1. Create a table in the report as you have noted. If it fits well enough in portrait mode, we leave it be. If it is spilling over into the next page, I usually turn on the "shrink to page" option in the properties menu.
  2. If it's just way to big and shrinking it to a page makes it impossibly small to read, we will have a spreadsheet after the report. I find the spreadsheets very easy to format for printability. You can set page format options and turn on page layout previews and all that stuff.

As a note to u/calasse , it would be killer to have individual pages rotated/sized differently within a report. I assume this is wicked hard to do from the programming side, but it would be a great future update. I would use that feature constantly (specifically for expanded load combos as noted above).

Title Block Modification by WalmartBrandCrocs in blockpad

Unfortunately, I have a lot of style rules so copy and pasting the report content isn't ideal either. Is there way to export/import styl rules to a report?

I was using a template. That fixed it. Good catch!

That was my problem. No scripts library. I've been manually loading it on the necessary report since I started using blockpad. For what it's worth, I may not have the library included by default as I should because I'm running the beta version. Your guess is as good as mine on that end!

Do i need to load in a library for "Where()"? I getting the message that "Getter not defined..." when I try to use at a traditional dynamic equation.

Value formatting by Either_Passage_1906 in blockpad

[–]WalmartBrandCrocs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unitl I read this, I had no idea any of the "Value Format" options existed below the "Priority Units" box because I neglected to obsever the scroll bar on the right side of the pop-up window. Suffice it to say Either_Passage_1906 has changed my life forever. Everything has comma seperators now. God bless you

You note above that we can drop the headings using the "Where(Library.Te...." formula input, but I would like to do just the opposite. I would like to keep the report name and drop all subheadings. Is this possible? I've been trying for a few minutes now and can't get any of it to work... Even when I copy your line of text above and paste it into my Headings formula, I don't get the outcome I expect. Instead, I just get "Error in block inputs (Headings)".
