Autocad AEC property set formulas in Forge
When processing a DWG file that has property sets (an AEC feature) in Forge model derivative or in Forge design automation. If there are formulas in there, instead of the output of that formula, you get the plaintext of the formula itself. I think the formula language is (quasi-VBA / VBscript?) and looks like there are some context variables involved. Has anyone found a way around this?
edit:
This is the formula:
RESULT="--"
On Error Resume Next
randomformula=[ObjectID]*[Area]
RESULT=randomformula
and the line from model derivative metadata:
"pset_test - Name": "RESULT=\"--\"\r\nOn Error Resume Next\r\nrandomformula=868384402720*4339762.18\r\nRESULT=randomformula",
As you can see, we get back our original formula with just the values replaced. The same thing happens on design automation (no example here now). What I expected, is to get the same result I get in civil3d.
Unfortunately, it's a known issue logged as ACD-3668 by our engineering team and it's still under investigation now. Currently, there is no workaround for it.
