changing column width in attribute editor

Post by ioscat »

Good day.
In the picture added to the post you can see attribute editor window. Sorry, we have to hide most of information.
After adding new elements width of columns exceeded screen size, so we can't edit it (without pasting to text editor) or change widths by draging margins. I would like to have narrow cells to edit them easier and faster (I need to edit just first numeric symbols).
Is it possible to make cells narrower by anyhow?

The attribute editor is pretty poor. Turn Control Cubes on then work with }ElementAttributes_<your dimension name> .

Or use DBSA or DBS if you prefer to send the data directly in.

The front-end should be avoided...

Yeah if your alias/ attribute is so long that it won't fit on the screen its not so great either. Not sure how much use and attribute or alias that is so long is though. Anyway use DBS or DBSa as you please to send the value from Excel.

If it really bugs you that much you could of course create an active form on the }element attributes cube and play with it through there in the same way that Steve Rowe has mentioned using DBSAs, personally though I would avoid this especially if you are dealing with big dimensions but it would allow you to see the data in a more customised format.
