Please give us better error messages - tell where the problem is exactly

[hoegge]

Fusion often gives error messages that do not say where the problems is. E.g. this:

And non of the flat patters show any errors when I open them. Strange

[ryan.bales]

I totally agree! Do you have any warnings or errors in your timeline? Often those flat pattern errors are when trying to compute timeline issues that effect the flat patterns.

Hi
No I did not have any error indications in any flat pattern or on any timeline.

[ryan.bales]

Well its difficult to say without seeing it. Having the file we can parse through the timeline and check for potential errors. But i do agree, better errors would be nice.

Often you have to move on working around the spurious errors and making a file with the reproducible error takes quite some time (if you need to remove things you don't want to reveal). In general it would just be good if errors always said what part / body  and feature that was the problem and what it relates to and what things it e.g. collided with, which is rarely the case today. It should be a general design principle in the software - whenever an error can get thrown there should be produced useful information.
