Wierd Problem, No Automations AT ALL working

Wierd Problem, No Automations AT ALL working

Wierd Problem, No Automations AT ALL working

(OP)
For weeks and months I have been using certain automations. Some of them daily, some of them just yesterday. All of a sudden UG locks up no matter what automation is being run.

No updates have been installed. No programs have been installed on my computer. Far as I can tell NOTHING has changed. I don't even know where to start when trouble shooting this.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Do you know how to look at your log file?

RE: Wierd Problem, No Automations AT ALL working

(OP)
No, can't find it, could you tell me where it is located?

RE: Wierd Problem, No Automations AT ALL working

If NX is still responding, go to Help -> NX Log file. If it is not responding, restart it then go to Help -> NX Log file and make note of where it is saving the log file, the file location should appear within the first 10 lines of the file.

Are you using a MenuScript? There was a notation about not being able to find a MenuScript item.

No,
The automations are all VB code. I'm running it through the journal feature.

I'm not sure what the MenuScript is.

RE: Wierd Problem, No Automations AT ALL working

Are you able to find your VB files and execute them, just that nothing happens or are you getting errors?

They start to work, For instance one will pull up a window to select a directory, one of the first things to program does. But then it just locks up, no error just runs for over 30 minutes before I finally turned it off using Task Manager. Normally runs for maybe a second.

I think it might be best to contact GTAC and have one of the systems people look at what's happening behind the scenes. Or one of the Programming people might be able to help as they may have some insight into what might cause this sort of behavior.
