PAC Display Configurator 9.6

PAC Project
1

I was wondering if anyone could provide any insight to what the “Auto Correct Tags” is attempting to do these days.

It seems unpredictable in practice. In earlier versions (<= 9.4) after doing a Find & Replace Tags,I would regenerate tags and then auto correct to ensure graphics would be properly linked to variables, inputs, outputs, etc. Display would then pop up the results in a WordPad window.

Often times in 9.6, auto correcting will seemingly hang the program for a long period of time and then pop up a window with hardly any (if any) results. If it comes up at all. I’ve had to force close the application when it seems to be stuck (since there is no real progress indicator).

It also doesn’t seem to stick to specifically selected windows when auto correcting, or at least not consistently. Sometimes I’ll pick one window to auto correct tags on, and it will do only that window. Other times it tries to do the entire project, even if I’ve chosen only a single window.

Well, I’ve been dealing with same problem off an on for years which apparently is still happening in 10.5c.

I looked in task manager and apparently it has to do with a windows problem. Even if I open it from the search window, windows apparently has a flag open that is causing Wordpad to think it is trying to print.
It is actively looking for the print driver. Haven’t figured out why yet, but that looks like the problem.

Regardless of whether these issues are related or not, I suggest opening a ticket with support in both cases.
That’s the way to get it addressed.

Will do tomorrow, Ben.
