    I'm receiving the following error 'Error: bad argument value: non-negative: -1' while running spread sheet to PLC generation with a custom PLC I created.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    I remember seeing an error like this some time ago but don't recall the specifics. This is just a guess... check your custom PLC module and explode any polylines you've used. Then rerun. Let me know what you find.

    Did not find any poly lines to explode in drawing. Any other ideas. Thanks

    Problem is most likely the "PLC Address" index into the spreadsheet is marked "N/A" in the program's "Spreadsheet/Table Column" setup subdialog. If set to N/A then it seems to cause this problem. Also make sure that your single unit PLC symbol that you want to pop in is NOT a block insert. It needs to be exploded so that the attribute definitions are visible, otherwise you end up with a "nested" block. If you have to explode it to get this right, also make sure there is not a WD_M block also included on the drawing. Blow any WD_M block away and purge the drawing (turn ATTMODE to 2 and do REGEN to make this WD_M visible (at 0,0)).
