Unable to do some functions in the layout. Getting Errors

Bala Sowjanya

Hi,

 

When I  am trying to do some functions in layout the below errors are coming. Can you please help me to find the problem.

 

To create pin:

 

ERROR

leHiCreateChoiceOfPin()

* Field is "manualPinMode" *

*Error* hiCreateRadioField: The initial value, "auto pin", must be contained in the choice list, ("rectangle" "dot" "polygon" "circle").

 

For device swaping:

 

lxHiSwap()

t

*Error* return: cannot return to prog in a different eval activation

*WARNING* (GE-2042): An unexpected error occurred while applying geiAppendCDFToPlForm SKILL function.

The reported error is : nil.

Thanks & Regards,

Bala

    Hi Bala,

    The first: Setting layout .cdsenv variable pinShape to "auto pin" errors out Create Pin form and fails to pop up (article says to remove the entry setting related to pinShape in  your .cdsenv or .cdsinit). For example if you have:

    envSetVal("layout" "pinShape" 'cyclic "auto pin")

    Then comment it out in in your .cdsinit.

    The second: Not seen this specifically. Can you do this and repeat the error and post the details of what is output:

    sstatus(errsetTrace t)
    _stacktrace=50

    Also please report what getVersion(t) returns - knowing what version you're using is quite important. I think it must be IC617 or similar vintage because of the first error, but just want to check.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
