Special characters (Umlaute) in the Report

Hi,

I was wondering if it is possible to use Umlaute (ä,ö,ü) in the headings of the columns in the report. Would this be possible?

Yes.

Send us a sample .SKP model, with attributes defines, and with an Umlaut in the heading, and also in the attributes as well and we will see if it is working. (SketchUp always gives us a hard time with Umlauts, but we will find a way around it)

I copied and pasted your three umlaut letters to the Component name itself (using SketchUp Entity Info), to the heading and to the attribute value for the field "test".

The "test" field worked, but everything else failed.

We will get it fixed.

I have Umlauts working now for attribute "titles", and attribute values.

(I kept wanting to give up on this, but I hated to leave a problem unsolved.)

Note: Auto Attributes probably won't work for Components with umlauts in the name. But you can create components with 'ae', etc. in the name and put an umlaut in the component description.
