Hello I have some troubles with DXP 2004 SP4 software. I can't use the find similar objet command for searching pads, holes ... who have a decimal point in there size. For example, i can find all holes with 1mm size, but then i search the holes who have 0.7mm, i have a message "error occured while running script". Is there a patch for this ??
Patrice, Are you by chance using the European "," as the decimal delimiter? Since you are mentioning metric sizing and your address seems to be in France, I thought it might be a possibility. There is definitely a number of problems in DXP caused by the use of a "," as a decimal point. In short, don't do that, set your machine O/S to use the "." convention for decimals. They are supposedly working on a fix for that, maybe in SP5.
Other than that, why ask your questions here, the Altium DXP forum will probably get you more help and a lot faster? Even the Altium tech support and some of the actual developers are online there, besides a large number of users. And if there is no answer or work-around, then you have also informed the developers without any additional effort.
Actually, should I have even asked such a stupid question? Your software is probably pirated, that is why you don't ask there.
Another possibility, switch to imperial, see if that may work. That may not work any better if you designed your pads in metric, then they are just as likely to have decimals in their imperial sizing after conversion.

Yes, you are right. i received a response from altium tech support yesterday :
Sir It could possibly be the settings in your windows XP regional settings:
Change the numbers decimal separator from (,) to (.)
Hope it helps
Kind regards

No, no pirated version, we have a valid licence for the school ! and so y could asked the tech forum who is not bad at all.
Well glad you got your answer Patrice, The pirated software thing was just a guess, I couldn't figure out why you would post here if you could post to the AD forum. I don't connect to the forum often (except when replying to posts on the forum) but receive all the postings via email. Haven't connected within the last week because I have been too busy to even read the incoming emails.
