Pointer to attribute Invalid Error was Fixed

Hi All,

I was making the 2 layer PCB of Gesture Control.

- I went to generate my artwork only to find out I can't because there is a database error.

- I check dbdoctor.log and it says "Error in Attribute Pointer to Void Invalid", 1 error could be fixed

- I do a database check (including regenerating DRC errors) and it reports that 2 errors were fixed, both referencing the same error message above.

- Sounds like I should be good to go, but when I try to generate the artwork again, I get the same error message and the cycle continues.

Can somebody suggest me how to resolve this Problem?

Thanks in Advance

I have experienced similar errors myself. Remedy has been to make new save after the "Error-was-fixed", then make a forced shape update, then make a renewed save, check for DRC-status and then run the post processing. Occasionally, I have had to reduce the database size by checking for unused elements in the board design and purging these. I am not at my workstation right now, so I cannot describe the procedure in detail but it can be done.
