Macros losing conection with CATIA

[TiagoFigueiredo]

I'm having something weird happening with catia and macros.
Sometimes when i have a part document opened macros left to interact with catia and i can not understand why. I have tested with CATScript, CATvba, vb.net. To solve this, I need to reboot catia, or open a CATProduct and work for a while in that product.

An example of what is happening: When this happens, if the macro needs something selected to continue running, I select the needed things, and macro says to me that there is nothing selected, then I tried to debug, and I see that for macro there is nothing selected (selection1.count=0, or ...selection.item(1).value, the value of variable remains empty). After that i try to rerun the macro, and there is an error that don't find the active document.


This is giving me completely crazy.

Happened to me with R26. After log off / log on everything worked well during a day. With R27 there's no connection loss at least for now.

Exactly R26...
Before I used R24 and no problem at all with that. I have talked with my CATIA provider in Portugal, and they don't had gave any solution.
there is any interesting thing in R27?

Have you double checked that the version you are executing code in is the version currently registered with Windows (Search on /Regserver and /UnregServer from some reference on how to change).

Generally I have used the following registry key to check which version of CATIA is currently registered with the operating system.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\CNEXT.exe

May be it's not a Catia issue. I think maybe it's Visual studio. I have some old Apps developed using VB6 and newer had connections loss during Catia session. This happened with Apps developed using VS 2015. Anyway with R27 we don't have connection issues. I'll upload tomorrow what's new in R27.

Hello,

I only have one CATIA release installed, in my computer. And this is happening as well with CATscript, catvba, vb.net... I still don't understand why. But it's a crazy thing.

Do you need a connection in CATscript, catvba?

Is this happening only on your workstation? Did you tried on another one to see if the behavior is the same? I'm not thinking of your CATSettings, I'm thinking of your HDD integrity.... (even is looking strange but I saw CATIA loosing connection with LUM due to this case).
