numericSpin causes crash

[Anonymous]

When ever I try to type a value in a numericSpin field, Inventor crashes. Anyone else seen this?

Hi Tom,

This works for me in Intent 4.3.523.

I used the code example from the help file:

<%%PEEditorType("NumericSpin"),_
 %%PEMaxValue("20"),_
 %%PEMinValue("0"),_
 %%PEIncrement("2"),_
 %%PEIntegerOnly?("True")> _
Parameter Rule testNum As Number = 0

 I also tried the following with success:

<%%PEEditorType("NumericSpin")>_
Parameter Rule testNum As Number = 0

 I did notice the help file has a typo, but it likely would have been caught by the design editor when trying to save:

<%%PEEditorType("NumericSpin"),_

 %%PEMaxValue("20"),_

 %%PEMinValue("0"),_

 %%PEIncrement(“2”),_

 %%PEIntegerOnly?("True")> _

Parameter Rule testNum As Number = 0

 Notice the slanted quotes on only PEIncrement, I got a syntax error from these.

Does your code differ from the first two examples above?

Thanks,

Looks llike I'm running Intent Kernel version 5.0.0.96

My code:

'*********** Wall Parameters

<%%Category("Wall Dimensions"),_
 %%DisplayName("Crash Test"), _
 %%PEEditorType("NumericSpin"),_
 %%PEMaxValue("20"),_
 %%PEMinValue("0"),_
 %%PEIncrement("2"),_
 %%PEIntegerOnly?("True")> _
Parameter Rule testNum As Number = 0
   
    <%%Category("Wall Dimensions"),_
     %%DisplayName("Wall Length"), _
     %%PEEditorType("NumericSpin"),_
     %%PEMaxValue("480"),_
     %%PEMinValue("96"),_
     %%PEIncrement("3")>_
     Parameter Rule wallLength As Number = 96
   
   
    <%%Category("Wall Dimensions"),_
     %%DisplayName("Wall Height"), _
     %%PEEditorType("NumericSpin"),_
     %%PEMaxValue("114"),_
     %%PEMinValue("102"),_
     %%PEIncrement("3")>_
     Parameter Rule wallHeight As Number = 102
   
   
    <%%Category("Wall Dimensions"),_
     %%DisplayName("Wall Thickness")> _
     Parameter Rule wallThck As Number = 4

Hi Tom,

I tried your code with no errors (again on version 4.3.523).  I don't have version 5.0 installed or I would test it there.

Thanks,

Thanks Farren,

Could someone useing ETO 2012 try this and let us know if Inventor crashes.

Thanks

It works if I backspace the numbers to 0 then enter the new number. If I highlight the number and enter a new one, it crashes.

Tom, I have reproduced this on the latest SP1 build of ETO 2012 and logged the issue as INT-1452. At this point I have no workaround beyond those you have discovered, and the obvious: don't use a numericSpin for now.
