    PLC I/O Utility

    I have been trying to use this utility to add multiple drawings to the PLC.  It works fine for the first module and then just stops.  I have tried pause between drawings and free run both with the same results.  Pause betweed drawings says it is supposed to return with a dialog box but I never get one.  Any ideas what I'm missing.  I'm using ACADE 2011.  I used to use this in ACADE 2005 and it worked fine but now there are so many more nice enhancements to it I would really like to get it working.

    Does the demo excel sheet that comes with AcadE work?

    Yes it does!  I guess that means I have something wrong in my spreadsheet.  I have found that I can get it to continue if I put in the SKIP or NEW_DWG values after a module but then it has the unwanted side effect of skipping ladders or pages.  I'll have to check compatibility issues in excel to see if there is something there.

    I found the problem, no blank line before the next module.  The smallest things can become major sometimes.
