Using CRR and ParameterSetLists damages the file (CSD 5.5.1)

Professional Installed

If I use CRR and simple ParameterSets – no issues (Test 1, No PSetList, CRR).

If I use ParameterSet to recall from PSetList – no issues (Test 2, PSetList, No CRR).

Using both in project also works, until you save and try to open the file (Test 3, PSetList, CRR).

 

I lost one day and a lot of files identifying this, attached files are for reproducing the issue.

Adding any CRR in Test 2 will crash the file, calling PSetList in Test 1 will do the same.

 

Any known workaround?

Hi Kiril,

I've tested this here, and I am able to reproduce the issue. Engineering is being made aware of this one too. This seems to happen in CSD vers 5.4-5.5.1.

It works in 5.3.2, and I assume previous versions of 5.x from there as well.

However, I believe this isn't something that's done often. Creating a parameter set to invoke a pset list, only to select another parameter set seems redundant. Though, if you have a good use case for this, I'd like to see if I can come up with a workaround for the moment.

Thank you,

This is related to the issue of having a PSetList in a PSet (which is redundant), and will be part of a future release to disallow the action. Thanks again.

I use this feature in cases with a lot of scenarios and mixing and changing them is a lot easier.

For example, in this project I have 30 ParameterSets grouped by function in lists for smaller reusable tasks and 10 for main scenarios. Main p-sets calls smaller ones and they are reused many times, changing is very easy and foolproof.

Using them as a list in remote is also useful, because adding new item does not require editing the page and adding new button for that. Information about which is currently active is also visible in remote, if used as a list.

Now I’m using logic control as a workaround for calling multiple p-sets and indication of active ones.

If there is any other way of doing that – I will appreciate any ideas.

 

Thanks,

Kiril

Hi Kiril,

I'd like to test the functionality of this in practice. Could you share your design file so I can have a look?

Thanks,

I will send a project to illustrate the idea.
