Trying to wrap my head around an issue with coping table in corridor.   When I copy a offset/slope table,  the slope gets copied in the VC Length column.  What am i missing to get the slope in the correct column?  

Hi @Francisco Guerrero

I to am having the same issues. There was a thread on this where I wrote the same as you’re writing and I illustrated the issue with same screenshots.

The topic was named “TEMPLATE COPY AND PASTE PROBLEM”. I hope this can be resolved quickly.

Next time you see this issue, paste the table info into this forum post. Also, what are your system region settings set to?  

"System Region Setting" ?

Hi @Gary Lantaff my region settings in Windows 10 is set to my region, which is Sweden.

I see this issue everytime I try to use tables in corridors/sideslopes. So I don't use excel spreadsheets because I have to manually adjust all the numbers, but I would really like to be able to because it would save a lot of time and effort.

Let me know if you need anything else like test data or whatever and I'll try to provide.

type Region Settings in Windows Search (if using Windows 10 at least) and it will pull it up for you. This is like USA or Sweden or Germany etc. Different Regions use different standards for eg numbers - a decimal point in some countries is actually a comma which causes problems with comma separated data like in the Copy Paste of Tables for example - the values you select get comma separated on the clipboard (open notepad and paste the copied data and you can see what is being passed around. - we have had defects in the past caused by the Region Settings not being honored in our software correctly - but in US if you have US region settings it should not be an issue.

I have attached a image of how my copied row look when pasted in a new table. The slope is copied into the VC Length column insteaad of the Slope column. 

 my region is set to USA.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words. Very true in this case.

If you have display suffix turned on in project settings, the station is formatted as "12+15 ft" instead of "12+15". The problem is when we paste the info back into TBC, we break the string up at every TAB, "list separator (usually comma)" and SPACE character. That's why the "ft" goes in the second column. 

I will remove the SPACE character from the list of separators.

How about the swedish region @Gary Lantaff?

Do you need to see how the settings look like or have you already looked it up?

The way to fix your issue is to do the following

1) Go To Project Settings, Select Units, Select Station and open the Suffix setting and change it to NO - that will remove the suffix value in that field which is currently causing your issue.DO the same for the Distance Units and set that to No also. 

We will fix this today now that we have tracked it down. Thanks for raising the problem and making TBC better!
