AutosilkUtils in 17.2

EvanShultz

I suspect eDave may be the best person to answer, but any feedback is welcome. After upgrading to 17.2 from 16.6, invoking Allegro shows the following error in the console:

E- *Error* loadContext: could not open file - "64bit/AutosilkUtils_public.cxt"

Is there an updated utility for 17.2? Perhaps I'm doing something wrong?

  • Thanks Dave!

    Can the new version be used with Allegro 16.x as well as 17.2? Trying it I get the following:
    W- *WARNING* context read failure: can't read 64-bit context on 32-bit platform
    E- *Error* loadContext: context I/O failed - "AutosilkUtils_public.cxt"

    For now I've renamed the older and newer versions of ASU and edited allegro.ilinit to:
    if(axlVersion('version) >= 17 then
    loadContext("AutosilkUtils_public172.cxt")
    else
    loadContext("AutosilkUtils_public166.cxt")
    )
    axlCmdRegister("silkutils" 'ASU_start ?cmdType "interactive")

    While all used to be well with Allegro 16.6 I now get the following when executing ASU (still using the old version of ASU):
    E- File save problem: Not enough storage is available to process this command.
    E- *Error* axlGRPDrwInit: argument #1 should be any user-defined (other) type (type template = "otg") - nil

    Any ideas? I'm on 16.6 S085 so maybe it was broken by a hotfix? It could have also broken since installing 17.2 as that happened since I last used ASU. Not sure...

    Anyway, when launching Allegro 17.2 I see:
    E- *Error* loadContext: could not open file - "64bit/AutosilkUtils_public172.cxt"

    Maybe I'm just tired, but I can't figure out what might be the problem or where to troubleshoot next. I'm on Windows 7 Ultimate x64 with 8GB RAM.

    TIA and we really appreciate all your work!
