    AutoCAD to PDF via ProjectWise

    Paul Patterson · 0 · Posted

    Hi There,

    I'm trying to print dwg's that are stored in ProjectWise to PDF's. 

    However, when attempting to select, or filter for the input files, i'm prompted with an empty dialog (see attached)

    In this scenario - are we able to pull the files directly from PW? or do they need to exported to a common location first?

    Thanks in advance

    Keynote Usage Report

    Hana Nguyenky · 0 · Posted

    In the Keynote Usage Report, is there a way to use the Element ID's of elements in drafting views to also include their data in the report? The reports I've been generating only include keynotes used in modeled views. It would be more helpful to get a comprehensive count and location of all keynotes used in the file for QA & QC of a document set.

    Make task server version upgrades happen through the server just like minor updates

    It would be great if task servers could pull their version upgrades from the Clarity server just like they do for minor updates!  This would be a nice time saver.

  • Clarity 2022.1 Installer Issue: Mitigated

    Matt Mason · 0 · Posted

    Last week we reported that a percentage of customers encountered an issue during installation which was causing their Clarity web application to not work after install. Root Cause: During an upgrade install, the Clarity Host Installer issued a command to stop all of the Microsoft IIS services—to ensure that no files are in-use when we attempt to remove/replace/upgrade them. For some customers, this command either:

    In these cases, the DLLs for the web application did not get properly replaced, and it caused issues after the installation. NOTE: If you successfully installed the software, and your web application worked—then there is

    All emails from Clarity should be controllable and controls should be documented

    Ken Etter · 1 · Last reply by Matt Mason

    We had a user report that she was receiving "changed Revit build" notifications.  She did not want to receive those but the only way we could find to stop them was to stop all emails on her Clarity account.  Clarity needs to have a more granular and/or documented approach to email notifications so we know how to control the notifications.

    Administrator User Disabled

    Nick Bower · 10 · Last reply by Nick Bower

    We keep seeing that our Clarity Administrator User keeps becoming disabled.  When this happens Clarity no longer runs any tasks.

    We were going to upgrade to the newest version to see if that resolved the issue, but saw the email about the issue with 2022.1 and did not.  We are still a bit behind either way.  Below is our Server Version.

    The Task Servers are on Build 2022.0.10.0   

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks

    C4R Publish not Publishing BIM 360 Forge Error

    Bruce Gunderson · 0 · Posted

    While watching the Task Server it shows success and complete but is not publishing the model. It gives a BIM 360 Forge Error. 

    on the Task Server I opened Revit and navigated to the model and was able to publish manually so the authorization is working for the signed in clarity user. Not sure how to reauthorize the BIM 360 Forge access. Is this an issue with the token?

    Thanks,

    # of views is wrong

    Hello, I would like to know what are the rules for measuring '# of Views' an '# of Views not on Sheets'. The number showed by Clarity is much bigger than what I can find in Revit after summing up all views, schedules and legends together. Any ideas? Thanks

    Navisworks conversion task

    When I run this tasks and it times out it still processes the post action task. It would be better to not process the post action tasks as it could be operating on an incomplete file or the old version.

    Navisworks Export, Name Result File without Detached

    Mike Underwood · 1 · Last reply by Matt Mason

    Is there a way to export nwc where the source filename/path reflects the actual central model, and not the "-detached" version?

    The problem is that when trying to use Navisworks Switchback, the link to the Revit model is broken because the source file path contains the -detached suffix when the nwc is exported, so Navis and Revit cannot complete the Switchback connection.

    Is there a setting I'm missing?  Thanks!

    Administrators select and run multiple tasks

    Sidney Griffin · 2 · Last reply by Sidney Griffin

    In 'Setup Tasks' window, my suggestion is to maintain focus on filtered list of tasks after selecting edit or run to support running many non-scheduled tasks easily. Alternatives are to allow a preselection of tasks to run (radio box > run all selected) or create the ability for administrators to string together already established tasks to run concurrently on group execution. We may want to run the same task on multiple projects periodically (not on a schedule).

    Visualize the "When Tasks CANNOT Be Run" On a Task Server

    Working with IT to set up routine restarts and SCCM update windows. We realized it's hard to visualize when a task server will/will not accept tasks. I think it might be useful to see this in the task timeline.

    PDF File Name Template - Empty Values

    Evgeny Kurbatov · 0 · Posted

    We have a REVIEW SET (list of sheets and views together) for PDF output.

    Typically we use the following file name template: [Sheet Number] - [Sheet Name].pdf

    Unfortunately it doesn't work well for views. The output file name for views is "--- - [Sheet Name].pdf". It is the same name for all the views. That results duplicated files which get deleted. It is expected, so I added another parameters to the template: [Sheet Number] - [Sheet Name][View Name].pdf

    The problem with duplicated file names is gone, but the resulting file names include the keywords [Sheet Name] and [View Name], surprisingly the

    Task Template - Worksets

    Evgeny Kurbatov · 0 · Posted

    Please add the Worksets parameter for Task Templates. In most time they have two values ALL or NONE. For some of tasks there is no need to open Worksets, for example for the task Revit Database Export. For such tasks I use the NONE value, which significantly reduces processing time.

    When I assign such Task Template to a project I need to set the Worsets to NONE for the assigned projects. Too many clicks. It is a big disadvantage in comparison with copying tasks from one project to another.
