Feature Request - The use of "?" in the corridor template "side slope" and "connect"

  • 1.  Feature Request - The use of "?" in the corridor template "side slope" and "connect"

    Posted 02-08-2019 11:33

    I tried to use the "?" in a table for a side slope in the corridor templates and was alerted that the functionality was not support in the side slopes tables. Can we get this added please? After the introduction to "?" for stopping instructions I am addicted. 

     

    I have worked around this in the past by creating a dumby node that the side slopes connects to and I use the table of the dumby node to control the starting and stopping of the side slopes but it would be easier and clean up things if we could integrate the two concepts together.

     

     

     

    I think it would also be useful to have a a table for the instruction type "connect". I have found myself using the command instruction set when working with conditional statements that may be part of my template. I use the connect instead of creating stacked instructions in the same spot. 

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Thank You!

    There are a couple of Tables that do this, however they let you save and do use the ? anyway. I have a defect in on this but it doesn't stop it from working Pat - I do it all the time.

    I apologize Alan, I am not following you on this one. Does the side slope instruction support the "?"? Or should it and that is the defect?

    There are a few tables that flag the ? As invalid but actually accept it and it works just fine. I believe sideslope is one of those. Try closing the table and save the instruction and I think you will find it works ok.

     

    ? Should work in all tables

    Thanks for the clarification Alan. That worked great.
