New CAD forum: test it and give us your feedback!

Hello Dearest Coralie

I would like to inform you of two little things that are wrong when answering a question

1° No underline function (although there are bold and italics)

2°) a bug on the numbered list or more precisely a very confusing mode of operation.
Classically, in word processing, we select the numbered list a priori or a posteriori for the first line. And every time we make a new paragraph

  1. Element (this is the result if we use the method of all word processors or those of all forums)

  2. Element (Dito. )

Now here is the result if we do the numbering a posteriori

  1. First line
  2. Second row

The small gear (usually corresponding to the setting) has no subtitle when you hover over it with the mouse.

Non-hidden text ==> Really hidden text after this arrow ===>

Summary

Hello technicians

The summary is not displayed when you type the text but only once the post has been sent.
If it's a summary that appears if you click on it or if you hover over it.

There is also the quotation function: If you hit your head with a jug and it sounds hollow, it does not necessarily deduce that the jug is empty.

Weird the text of Coralie that appears in my text if I click on quote the message in full) What is the point of quoting in full the post with which I am interacting. Unless I go and delete the lines I don't want.
It would be easier to create classic QUOTE functions

Hi all!

We are very pleased to announce the launch of this new CAD forum! :partying_face:
More intuitive, more efficient, instant exchanges... Everything you need to work better on Lynkoa!

A few clarifications following the launch of this new forum and your feedback:

  • This new forum opens independently of the Lynkoa website : a new tab opens and gives you access to the forum. In order to keep the site, you are advised to keep the 2 tabs so that you can juggle between the different services of the platform. If you ever close the Lynkoa site tab, you will have to reopen it later.

:exclamation:For information: a button allowing you to return to the Lynkoa site from the forum will be installed very soon in order to avoid these comings and goings

  • In order to provide us with your feedback and improvements, you can create a question and categorize it as "Feedback " so that all are listed in one place.

I'll give you new tips on the forum as you use it :slight_smile:
Enjoy your test on the forum!

Hello @Zozo_mp ,
Thank you for your feedback, it's noted! :slight_smile:

I add that the " unread subject" meter has a weird operation.

Especially if you didn't click on it to see it.
If you return to the TOP, the counter remains displayed "unread 1" unless you click in the " read " sub-menu.
Simply opening it to read it is not enough to update the meter!
So I don't use the " not read " anymore

Otherwise there are plenty of great tricks from an ergonomic point of view.
And here I don't feel like naming them. This forum is becoming the best by far compared to other forums on the net.

Coralie, please tell the developers and the ADMIN's that this is very good what they proposed to us

Hello @Coralie

New weird stuff
I receive new information telling me that I have been upgraded in a personal capacity
The problem is that it invites pretexts of information on tips to go to an English forum similar to ours

Personally, I refuse to have my contact details used to give them in a disguised way to another site

If other members have the same problem as they give us their feeling
Thank you

Hello @Zozo_mp ,
You must have received a message from a discobot which is the "chatbot" of the forum, right? Because when you rank up on the forum (thanks to your actions) this robot shows you new features to use and can lead you to go to the Discourse forum which is our forum tool. The Discourse site shows you tips on how to use the forum. Don't worry about your data, under no circumstances is it used outside the platform.

If, however, you do not wish to receive this type of message, we can disable it :slight_smile:
PS: I sent you a private message to find out more!

Hello @Coralie ,

It seems to me that from the forum you can't access the tutorials or I haven't found the trick?

Hello @Coralie @eliott.metra @fchosson
Would it be possible to add the 3 emoji :sunglasses: :wink: :thinking: to the contextual menu of "likes" of messages?

Re @Coralie @eliott.metra @fchosson

Is it possible to enable the grab-drop (select and move with the mouse) of words/phrases in the message input area? It would avoid making tedious cut/paste to move the order of words/sentences in our messages.

Thank you.

Hello @ac_cobra_427 ,
The tutorials are always available on the myCAD homepage: Tutorials
As a reminder: all the platform's services are available on the https://www.lynkoa.com/ homepage!
Have a nice day :slight_smile:

Hello @Sylk ,
We will look at what is possible to do :slight_smile:

Hello @Coralie and @Admin

Small problem when writing a response. A pop-up message appears saying that the message is being modified.

We must answer ignore to return to the text.
If you select reload then you lose everything you just typed

In addition to the fact that every 20 seconds the message comes back (like Cain's eye in his grave) and that's not Glop!
This looks like a Timeout with too low a value.

@Zozo_mp , I don't have this problem with Firefox, even if a window remains open for editing for 5 minutes in another tab. Live test!

Is it possible to include vba code formatted according to Microsoft visual basic for application with colors

it would be better than that

ex

Option Explicit
Dim swApp As SldWorks.SldWorks
Dim swModel As ModelDoc2
Dim swModelDocExt As ModelDocExtension
Dim swCustProp As CustomPropertyManager
Dim Part As Object

Dim vPropNames As Variant
Dim vPropTypes As Variant
Dim vPropValues As Variant
Dim resolved As Variant
Dim linkProp As Variant

Dim i As String
Dim j As Integer
Dim Ligne As Integer
Dim custPropType As Long
Dim lRetVal As Long
Dim retval As Long
Dim Nb_espaces As Integer
Sub Step_proprietes()

'Les step importés ont des propriétés non modifiables
'01-Liste les propriétés et les copie
'02-Supprime les propriétés
'03-Ajouter les propriétés
'https://help.solidworks.com/2023/english/api/sldworksapi/Get_Custom_Properties_of_Referenced_Part_Example_VB.htm?verRedirect=1

Set swApp = Application.SldWorks
Set swModel = swApp.ActiveDoc
Set Part = swApp.ActiveDoc
Set swModelDocExt = swModel.Extension
Set swCustProp = swModelDocExt.CustomPropertyManager("")

If Part.GetType = 3 Then Exit Sub '1 = Part, 2 = Assembly, 3 = Drawing
If swCustProp.Count = 0 Then Exit Sub

Hello @Zozo_mp
This message is displayed when you already have a message in progress! He then asks you if you want to keep it or rewrite one! Maybe you also have several tabs open?

Hello @Bob_2000 ,
Thank you for your remark, I would like to pass it on to our technical teams;
Concerning notifications from the myCAD homepage, this problem has been reported and should be corrected as soon as possible!

Hello Coralie

Answer

  1. Yes, the message is displayed while you are writing
  2. I don't have multiple tabs open

I have delved into the problem.
This happens when the internet connection cuts off and is restored (a lot of rain in the last few days)
My point of view of the non-problem to be confirmed by the Admins
The new forum tool works in real time (without page refresh), we can see it since the connections and disconnections of colleagues appear without being made F5 for example.
So in my case it indicates because of the real time that I am already writing while on my side I have not seen the cut of a few seconds of the network.
This means that the software does not test the internet presence or not, but in the journaling it knows that something was going on and when there is a disconnection or reconnection, it triggers the message.
Well in a few days or weeks I'll switch to fiber so I'll be less prone on new lines to the pb of stupid and xion

We can consider that there are no more incidents :blush:

Kind regards

Hello

I regularly see improvements appear, such as a small red line that separates the last messages that appeared or were not read.

Muting it allows me to no longer have in unread messages the subjects that don't interest me, especially because I wouldn't know how to respond.

The real-time appearance of people logging in or out without the need to refresh the page.
A better with the new forum which is to see who is connected (important when answering a topic).

There are still other nice and positive things but the list is too long to be exhaustive.
In short, it was worth changing for better :clap: :raised_hands: :clap: :raised_hands:

Kind regards

When will Lynkoa and myCad be homogeneous?

In connection with the request, our very good friend @ac_cobra_427 could proceed with weeding done by the committee of the shepherds.
Indeed, non-active member trainers have come to put up dumpsters of fake, real useless tutorials that do not respect the creation charter.
This is done, all the tutorials often responding to requests for help are drowned and impossible to find.
(so I don't post tutorials anymore) :face_with_symbols_over_mouth:

PS: I loved :star_struck: :smiling_face_with_tear: the tutorials of @ac_cobra_427 who answered some tough problems.
