Hi EVERYONE!!!! This is a VERY important topic!!!! It was discussed on the GERMAN Forum under the link /tf/WW/de/Posts/40214#top This line colour changing error in V6.1.12 occurs if - you close LSC when a simulation is still running - LSC / Windows crashes when a simulation is still running - you save the program while a simulation is still running - you are simulating more than 1 program at a time (at least one in the background) and any of the above occurs It is a case of LSC 'saving' the lines colour properties along with the program. The steps described above are a bit complex, but it does solve the problem. I have tried to translate these steps below. PRINT THESE OUT and keep them for further reference!!!!! (I am sure that Siemens is working on the problem for the next service pack or LSC version) 1) Open the LSC program that has the incorrect colours 2) Zoom out until you can view the ENTIRE program (all pages) 3) Under TOOL --> OPTIONS --> COLOURS, select BLACK as the colour for Hi & Lo simulation colours and APPLY / OK 4) Change something small in the program - eg, add a block, then delete it OR simply move a block a small distance 5) Start the SIMULATION mode and check that EVERYTHING is black 6) While the simulation is running, close LSC (red cross in the top right hand corner) 7) Because the program has changed (see point (4)), you will be asked if you want to SAVE the program - select YES and save it either as the same name or a new program name 8) Open LSC again (make sure that it is the ONLY instance of LSC running at the time!) 9) Open the newly saved program again (it might auto-load) 10) Go back to TOOLS --> OPTIONS --> COLOURS, and select the STANDARD colours for everything - APPLY / OK to confirm 11) You will have to do this for EVERY program that has been saved with the wrong linee colour attributes saved in it - it is not just a setting change in LSC, it is an error saved into every program. I hope that this helps!! LESSON TO BE LEARNT!!!!!! - ALWAYS STOP the simulation and go back into editing mode (so that all lines go black) before saving and makign any changes (even parameters) - Only ever have ONE simulation running at a time This is good programming/engineering practice. Have fun with your colour changing! Aaaaarrrggghhh!!! ("Have a nice day!") Please RATE or THANK for this post (it boosts my ego!) |
