The option Transpose columns and rows has been added to the table export of the variable management [Variable Management] and PARTdesigner. This ensures that very large amounts of data remain as clear as possible.

Not transposed means one variable per column. Transposed means that columns and rows are swapped and there is one variable per row. This is supported for CSV and XLSX files.

Table export from the variable management [Variable Management]

You can find more detailed information on exporting tables in the chapter Section 7.12.17, “ Save as CSV file ” in eCATALOG 3Dfindit.

There is now a project filter in the variable management. This allows you to display either Visible projects only [Only visible projects], Hidden projects only [Only hidden projects] or All projects.

Further information on variable management can be found in the Section 5.8.2.1.20.8, “ Manage variables ” in eCATALOG 3Dfindit chapter.

If the option is activated, linked projects are also loaded. These linked projects can be located anywhere in the catalog, i.e. also outside the initial selection. This can result in projects being displayed in the file paths that do not even belong to the actual selection. The visibility of linked projects depends on the visibility of the link.
