John Gr Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 I have been having a lot of problems with the vectorscript editor. The Parameters Order Column is not showing a Proper sequence of numbers. The Numbering starts at 1 then 13, 14, 15, 16 ......... on all PIOs. When i try to drag and drop the Parameter order Vectorworks crashes or displays blank and random values in the Editor. If i run the PIO i get an error the saying there are Parameters missing. This Problem also occurred in Version 12.0. In version 12.0 I could add parameters to a PIO but couldn?t change the order else I would have the same results as now. I have been using VW2008 for the last couple of months without this problem thinking that the bug had been removed. I have been doing a lot of development lately and this has stopped me in my tracks. Application Version:2008 SP2 (Build 83388) Win XP Quote Link to comment
islandmon Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 You've stumbled upon a problem that has plagued programmers from day uno ... the sorting problem as it pertains to those pesky Real Numbers. In the example you provide a Bubble Sort will see "1" as being first in line and then "12" as being second , etc. because the program assigns ID-Values to the Numbered items on the List .. messing with the sort order confuses the associated Parameter ID-Values .. like we used to do in elementary school when we sat in different desks declared on the seating chart in order to confuse a substitute Teacher. If we were clever enough, the Teacher would never catch-on to the re-ordering prank ... but if Bobby mistakenly shifted over to Betty's seat then the Sub could crash our script. Quote Link to comment
Dieter @ DWorks Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 I had the same problem once with version 12.5.1. I think I updated my pc and did a clean install to solve the problem. But I'm not sure anymore. I see you're with Win XP. I had the problem on Win XP. Now I'm using Vista. Quote Link to comment
John Gr Posted February 11, 2008 Author Share Posted February 11, 2008 Hi Dworks I have done a fresh install with no luck. Quote Link to comment
Dieter @ DWorks Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 Then Can it have something to do with Win XP? Because I did not have the problem in Vista. I only had it in XP. Quote Link to comment
