Hi, yesterday I discovered that attributed blocks, used with the v2012 array, are not being accounted for when performing an ATTEXT command. Since all our elements have attributes, containing their data (name, item number, weight, ...) and we extract this data to directly import into a material planning software to generate load lists, this means a massive possibility to miss these items on the load list.
Once the associative array is exploded and all items (attributed blocks) become independent again, they behave as before and the attributes are being extracted. Of course the advantage of the new array is gone then.
Any one around that noticed this also or has a solution already?
