TurboPascal's Rview - Page 3

DaroRaider · 02-09-23, 00:35

Hello Sapper,
are you still revising and updating this tool because I come up with a new problem with Rview.

When I try to export a room to a DXF file, there is an I/O error 103. I was inspecting this error on delphi's documentary but didn't figure it out with accuracy what the problem is. Maybe the module to export has bugs??

Even, if you see the exported file saved as test.dxf is created but it has nothing, it's empty.

I checked this with many rooms in my project, and same error is reported on many others as well.

I guess this has something to do with the tool itself. Any suggestions?

EDIT: While I try to figure out how to use the attach system for images, I let the video here instead of images.....

I have not been programming anything for a few years.

My project files for Rview are on an old PC.
I will see if I can find them.

The dxf exporter is prone to bugs. I think it uses old file writing procedures that may not work with modern windows.

The problem with TurboPascal's old Delphi programs is that they have to be updated for modern Delphi IDE.

And since Delphi IDE is too expensive I have to use free community version but you can only use that version for 1 year and then you have to get the new community version which means maybe another rewrite of the programme to work with the new IDE.

Anyway what windows version you using?

I am using Rview on Windows 10 but the tool has that annoying "culling" problem ( check some posts back), and I switched to Win7 where there is no culling problem anymore. But I tryied to export DXF on both, my Win7 and Windows 10 computers, and the bug persists on both.

Have you tried running Rview as administrator?

Yes, I tried and there is no way. The problem persists. But it's okay. I already figured out another way to move forward with the project (fortunately!! ). Thank you Sapper for your time.
