IBL points file crashes Wildfire II
IBL points file crashes Wildfire II
(OP)
Howdie.
I have a little vb6 program that builds IBL points files for me so that I can import these into ProE as Datum curves. It works great (simple thing really), but I have one file that keeps crashing ProE to the desktop. I have gone through the file and selectively removed blocks of points to try to isolate where in the file the suspect point is, but each block I test has been successful (not crashed ProE). In this manner, I have tested all of the point sets in the file to find out whether there is a problem in my code, or in ProE. There are 353 points total in the file, with 3 sets containing 103 points each. It is these 3 large sets that I selectively removed points and tested the results. Is there a known bug in ProE concerning IBL files in general, or is there a limit to the amount of points that can be in an IBL file? Again, all of the data works when I remove points from the three long sets, I just can't get the WHOLE file to work with ProE all at once. I COULD break the file up into 3 separate files (and this works), but that's a bit of a drag, if this problem is fairly frequent.
Thanks everyone,
treddie

I don't know how we can exchange info or source code except maybe over at mcadcentral.... so if you post a message over there.. I will keep a eye out and we could go from there.

I've been on vacation and won't be back until around New Year's.
Until then, have a great New Year's Day and hope you had a great Christmas.

No problem.. enjoy the vacation and Happy Holidays to you and your family.
RE: IBL points file crashes Wildfire II
hmmm... 200 curves ..181 points per curve... 36,200 points...
I got source code for ya
RE: IBL points file crashes Wildfire II
I hope your holidays were exquisite.
Sorry it took so long to get back to you.
How do I contact you over at mcadcentral?

Does anyone know of a good reference on the IBL file format? I have had about zero luck trying to find one. In fact, the reason I was able to build my simple files at all was because I found a sample on the web, but it did not include commands or statements at all, beyond the standard "Open Arclength" and "Begin" headers.
Thanks again!

the ;
Closed Index Arclength
Begin section ! 1
Begin curve ! 1
list of points for curve 1
Begin curve ! 2
list of 2nd points
Begin curve ! 3
again over and over till you have all your sets
nothing needed to close out file.. tho the example I found< I think had something ... it works with nothing
RE: IBL points file crashes Wildfire II
dim a string for your filename in general declarations
say;
dim fname as string
add a drivelistbox, a dirlistbox, and a filelistbox,
them up so it sets your subdir.. using the change property
then to get around the long file name issue your fname can be... you can even get alittle exotic and have it follow proes working dir with chdir
fname =dir1.path & "\" & file1.filename before you process
command1._click that allows for some longer file names
RE: IBL points file crashes Wildfire II
Open Arclength
Begin section ! 1
Begin curve ! 0
Points list
Begin section ! 2
Begin curve ! 1
Points list
Begin section ! 3
Begin curve ! 2
Points list
and so on...

Yours is:

Begin curve ! 3
Points list
and so on...
Am I correct in assuming that "Open" and "Close" refer to open or closed curves? But what is "Index"? Also, was never clear on the "Begin Section" deal and I found I needed to use it as shown to get the correct results.
Was talking to wsylvester over at mcadcentral and he had this sample:
i set the step to 45 ;
Closed Index Arclength
Begin section ! 1
Begin curve ! 1
1 ; 100. 0.0 &nb sp; 0.0
46 &nbs p; 70.7107 35.3553 0.0
91 &nbs p; 0.0 &nb sp; 50. &nb sp; 0.0
136 &nb sp; -70.7107 35.3553 0.0
181 &nb sp; -100. 0.0 &nb sp; 0.0
Begin curve ! 2
1 ; 100. 0.0 &nb sp; 10.
46 &nbs p; 70.7107 35.3553 10.
91 &nbs p; 0.0 &nb sp; 50. &nb sp; 10.
136 &nb sp; -70.7107 35.3553 10.
181 &nb sp; -100. 0.0 &nb sp; 10.
SOMEWHERE, there has to be an IBL format reference.
