Viewing DIESEL expressions in Fields

It was brought to our attention in this forum thread, (and confirmed in this Autodesk KB article) that certain DIESEL expressions in fields are not evaluated in DWG Trueview, resulting in missing information. If you use such data in your drawings, and you share those drawing files with others who do not have a CAD program, beware that DWG Trueview will not display the data correctly.

As you can see in the screenshots below, the field that shows the area of the rectangle works just fine in all cases, but the field that contains the DIESEL expression for the date, does not get evaluated in DWG Trueview. Note that the FREE BricsCAD Shape does show the correct data as saved in the DWG file, as does the FREE Autodesk Online Viewer, discussed here in an earlier post..
