Derived values in different tables instead of in 1 table

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Sometimes the derived values are comming in 1 table when doing the clear and evaluate all.
But sometimes all the different values are comming in different tables which is not usefull to work with (copy paste becomes more difficult).
It appeared when adding calculated values after the probe values.

Somebody knows how this is triggered?

same problem here.

I want all the derived values to appear in one table. Sometimes this happens automatically, sometimes not.

Is there any solution to that problem? Because I couldn´t find any option where I can specify the table in which the derived values shall appear...

Hi Hans,

for the derived values that you use (Point or Global evaluation), on the button with the orange symbol of equal = (Evaluate button) there is the list of tables. Therefore, you can choose to store your values in a defined table or in a new table

Hope this helps
Regards

Thank you. That is exactly the option I was looking for!

While this proposed solution will work, it means that in order to combine all, or selected, derived values into a single table the program must recalculate the values, which is a waste of time for what should be a simple copy/paste operation.

Burying the table assignment in the evaluate menu obscures this option and unnecessarily links it to the evaluation. Instead there should a clear option in the derived value UI to indicate on which table a given value will be placed, and a correlated option in the table UI to define which values appear on a given table. If the values have already been calculated, then a change of these options should trigger a move or copy of the values to the new table. Then the table reconfiguration is clear and fast.
