Alright, What the He!! does this mean?

[inspector212]

I am getting this error now every time I run a program through offline.
What the %#(^%($*!!!!! And then the Demon crashes.

[craiger_ny]

Are you calling a script? I'd think you'd get a line error if that were the case though.

[Wes Cisco]

Is your SMA current? j/k

[Jan d.]

First question: can you run ANY script at all???? Try another one. Or make a simple one. Is there any script that you can run at all?

Second question: the script that you are trying to run, did it run before???

No script

Yes and the Scroll Lock is off.

No script.


I am not doing anything different than what I have been doing for years. Last week I got a program from an operator who was having a problem. I tried to run it through offline to zero everything out and then I got this. And now today I just got it again while trying to zero out a program that was ran online. I do this all the time. This is the first issue I have gotten.

Well, not that this will help, BUT, you can zero out a program without doing anything OFFLINE. Mark the features, then SHOW PATH LINES, save the program, close it, open it, go to the first dimension and re-type in the feature ID. This is for V3.7 MR3. Iv V3.5 you didn't have to re-type the feature ID to get the dimensions back to zero. I don;t know what V4+ will do.

[inspector212]

I have some assignments and generic features in the program. Is this what you mean by script or do you mean VB and stuff like that because I have none of that.

[inspector212]

If I add default breakpoints and "toggle" my way through the program, it works fine. But when I just run it, crash.

[craiger_ny]

You could be using an unsupported syntax in an assignment I suppose. I remember trying syntax in 3.2063 that I was accustomed to using in 3.7 but was unsupported by 3.2063. I don't remember the error though.

Post your variable assignments.

edit: I see you ran debug, I'd expect it to reproduce there. I'm as lost as you are now.

[Underspec]

Offline and Online exactly same?

[SABarber]

Reporting uses scripting. Do you get this message for every other press of the Refresh button? If yes, is it possible to download the latest V42MR1 version?

Here is the code. None of it is red. The number seem to work out.

I don't think this error occurs in online mode or else I would have heard from the operator. Just when I try to run offline.

[MrComment]

I think SABarber is correct that it's a bug with reporting.

To help diagnose, you might try placing a "Program End" command before your first Dimension in the program. Then try running it though offline, since steping though the code with break points doesnt cause the error to trigger.

I some cases not related to reporting, I've found that placing a "BS", "WTF" or "PCDMIS Blows Chunks" Operator comment just before the code that raises the error temporarly fixes the problem also. More related to PCDMIS ignoring Alignments I guess and It shouldnt work but sometimes it does.

[inspector212]

Figured it out

Thanks to Mr Comment for the Program End suggestion. I put it before the dims and it ran fine. I just kept moving it down until I got the error. Before best fit alignment, fine, after best fit alignment, error. Ding, Ding. Dug around and found the error.

You can't have Use Scaling selected in a Best Fit alignment if you are using Translate only or Rotate only for your Best Fit Method.

See attachments:

Note to Hexagon: Make Use Scaling unavailable if you select Rotate Only or Translate Only.

[inspector212]

The issue is back when I regenerate the report. It stops at about 63%. The operator ran a v-study and only got half of the data from the program. I got the data up to the best fit alignment and nothing more. Here is the screen capture. Hopefully someone figures it out over the weekend. Have a good one.
