Using PAC Project Pro 10.5c.
I have a small chart that is mostly script blocks handling Modbus communication.
I exported the chart.
I created a new project and imported the chart.
I saved the project and did a compile all. All good as expected.
With the all code blocks closed, I changed variable names from the variable tree.
I tried to compile and found that none of the variables had changed in the script block.
That certainly sounds like odd behavior to me… Not sure if this is a support issue, but either way, could you try to force the variable names to change with Edit → Replace ?
If you are using an old version, like 8.5, this was a bug. It did not change the variables within the script blocks.
Edit replace did not work.
More info…it is not a problem with all of the variables…but a fair amount of them. Not the same variable types either.
Here is an .zip of the exported chart
exportchartrouble.zip (7.5 KB)
It references a couple of these subs. (the sub variables are not variables I am having an issue with)
Subs.zip (86.6 KB)
I tried uninstalling PAC Project 10.5c, reboot and reinstalled. Same result.
I replicated the same issue on a different computer running PAC Project 10.5c.
Got it…thanks. The chart that is being exported was developed in 10.5c.
