Bug/Feature: Trying to copy the waypoint information on a route's property page

BaseCamp 4.0.2

Hi there,

I'm trying to copy (CTRL-C) the information out of a route's property page and paste it into a text file for printing and processing.

It works sort of, but if you have the "More Info" option checked you still only get the waypoint column.

However, if you goto the "Route Directions" with the "More Info" option checked you can select all of the lines and paste them into a text file while getting all of the information in a comma delimited manner (using WordPad, not Notepad as there is a line wrap issue).

I'd like to be able the copy feature to work the same on the Properties tab as it does on the Route Directions tab.

Thank you
Brian W

I'll add that to our to-do list.

Any update on this? Would be nice to simply be able to cut and paste from route properties as well as route directions , in order to move into excel or word.

I do not believe that we have had movement on this. I will check our case list and see if we still have this open.

For people who want to do detailed route manipulation or analysis in excel , it would be very useful. I know within BaseCamp there are excel-like sorting capabilities, which I think are great, but the ability to use the full functionality of excel or word with data extracted from BaseCamp is what we are hoping for. A ctrl-c would be fine, need not be more complex than that. Thanks for responding!

I have no interest in getting Excel to do anything fancy with this at all but really would like the ability to print the info displayed in a font big enough for me to be able to read without glasses when stuffed in the mapcase of my tankbag.
