The Tools 5.8.2 release features important enhancements and bug fixes. Notably, the Loop task in the Assistant has been updated with new options that increase the compatibility with diverse Excel sheet structures. We've also introduced an Excel to CSV export task, which makes it easier for users to export data from sheets or specific ranges within them for use in other programs or scripts that may not have extensive Excel support.
On the bug fixing front, output assignment issues from Dynamo scripts to specified variables and a problem with renaming tasks have been addressed. Python users will find their code simplified as we've removed the necessity to specify an extension type when using the browse control.
Improvements in the Coordination Tool include rectified issues related to element assignment and the navigation to linked elements.
