Submodel instance count at wrong place - Jaco van der Molen - 2016-09-09

Hi Trevor,

When using pagenumber in alternate corners (like a book) the Submodel instance count is at the wrong place when it is on a odd page number on a single page submodel with a step group.
Using this
0 !LPUB PAGE SUBMODEL_INSTANCE_COUNT PLACEMENT LOCAL BOTTOM RIGHT PAGE_NUMBER OUTSIDE
does nothing.
Neither does dragging the instance count.
Also setting the font and size have no effect.

Can you fix this? Or is something wrong with my file?
Example attached.

TNX

BTW when I disable show pagenumber the instance count is gone too!?

Jaco, Thanks for reporting these behaviours. I imagine these are both old LPub bugs. i'll take a look.

Cheers,

I think so too, yes. Tnx again.
I am working on some complex instructions so maybe I'll find some more issues.

Fixed - look for the update in the next release. 

I also added the ability to detect (pageNum % 2) if the page is odd/even and transpose the placement (left/right) of the page number accordingly.

Cheers,
