Is there a hard limit of 50 files in APIs and macros in SWX? We have several for simple tasks like printing to pdf, resetting revision tables, resetting variable values, etc. However, they all require you to count (because the swx window does not give you a # of objects selected) 50 files at a time. Go over 50, and they all crash SWX. If it is a bug, is there anything to be done about it? We have a HUGE program that saves its progress all the time so it can restart where it left off if SWX crashes, but these are simple little programs. It doesn't seem like all of that complexity should be necessary.
We are on SWX 2012 SP5, but hope to upgrade to 2013 in the next month or so.
I am not a programmer, just a user, so think "programming for dummies" .
The programs were written 4+ years ago, so there is a good chance there is something new we are not using that will fix the problem.
The person who wrote the programs is no longer with us, but they are predominantly VB.net programs installed into a custom menu for company tools.
We have a programmer that has been able to fix the programs. He doesn't see the problem with having to run the programs on groups of 50 files, so isn't motivated to build in the complex solution that was used on the larger program. However, making it hard just means people don't do it. He's a good guy, so I'm sure if I push, he will do it, but the forum is frequently my hero, so I'm hoping you will provide a simpler solution.
