Changed

  • The material now shows up in the "Add item" window, filled in from the CAD document.
    Until now that field started empty, there was nothing to go on when filling it in, and the
    material from SolidWorks appeared on the item straight after the upload anyway — as if out
    of nowhere. The macros read it off the document before opening the browser and pass it
    along, so it is visible and deliberate from the start. Duplicating an existing item still
    copies that item's material: there the choice was made explicitly.
  • That material is shown but no longer editable there. Right after the upload the macro
    writes the material onto the item from the document anyway, so anything picked in the "Add
    item" window was overwritten moments later — offering a choice that would not survive was
    the confusing part. The field now shows the CAD material greyed out, with a note saying
    where it came from; the deliberate change is made on the item once it exists, where the
    field works as before. A duplicate's material stays editable, because it was copied from an
    item someone picked.

Fixed

  • A material coming from CAD is now added to the materials list when the item is created,
    not only after the file has been uploaded. Creating an item carried the material through
    without registering it, so until the upload finished it was a name the list did not have —
    impossible to pick again or to filter by. Both paths now go through the same rule.
