What happens is in my display table I get the string "(sd-multi-lang-string "Acrylic" :german "Plexiglas")" instead of only "Plexiglas". What's wrong?
I am using Direct Modeling v17 but I think the Version does not matter much here. |
Hi,
The issue is that the sd-multi-lang-string function needs to be evaluated when populating the field. There are a couple of ways you can do this.
The first is just to use the list function rather than a quoted list, something like this:
Code:
:contents (list (list (sd-multi-lang-string "Acrylic" :german "Plexiglas") 0.043 "1.190") .... )
The second is to use a backquote and comma (which evaluates the immediately following function), something like this:
Code:
:contents `((,(sd-multi-lang-string "Acrylic" :german "Plexiglas") 0.043 "1.190 .... )")
The code above is not tested, but the ideas should be accurate. Note that using the (list ...) function cannot always be used in place of a quoted list, but frequently works.
I hope this helps!
