Isodraft error (33,700) No Status Flag for Drawing

Howdy all,

I am trying to run an iso and getting a "Isodraw has failed: fatal error" message then when I click ok the error code "(33,700) No status flag for drawing".  Has anyone encountered this one before?  (To be honest, I feel a bit silly asking since I have a hunch it's something I've done to myself through C&S but I just can't figure it out right now!)

Cheers,
JM

I have encountered this type of non-descript errors.  Not sure how to solve it, but this is how I would go about investigating.

1. have you changed option files recently? What was the change?
2. have you updated/modify any piping element on pipe with such error?

You have to play the detective and horn in on the potential error.

Also try datal the pipe out and then back in.

Well, I managed to produce an iso.  Not the pretties iso I've ever made but it ran and it can be fabricated from therefore, I'm happy :)

For curiousity here's what I think happened.

First, I didn't mod the options file and other iso's were working on the same file so that was not a problem.  I attempted a datal out and back in but the problem was exactly the same.  I had created/modified a couple of items in C&S so I triple checked all their connect points to find that everything seemed to be in order.

Finally, I decided to just rebuild the pipe, it wasn't too large so it didn't take too, too long.  As I built each branch, I ran the iso.  The problem turned out to be caused by a branch off a bleed ring.  I don't know exactly why but PDMS did not want to handle the graphics.  In fairness, the pipe has some strange geometry.  In the end I just had to tweak the ring a bit and it worked.

Anywho, just thought I'd share that experience with this little issue.  Another example of how sometimes you just have to do a little trial and error investigating...   thanks for the tips Ding.

Cheers all.

Sounds like the SKEY for the Drip Ring did not allow for a connection.
