I have the same problem. Everytime I close and open SU I have to do the workaround settings over again.

Hi
The workaround doesn't work for me. Even if I change the language setting to English (tried both IE and Firefox)it still can't find the report page. It works off-line and that's one step ahead. Thanks for that info.

PS. Did like Thomas changing to English UK and then back to English and voila! it worked!
Funny, but mysterious.

Hi Jean
I agree with you. This problem should be resolved asp. The problem seems to affect machines/OS set up with other languages than English and there seems to be even more to it. I have made the changes in regional and language settings. It seems to work for thomthom and others, but not for me. It could work for Vista and not for XP. It could work for XP SP3 and not for SP2. And it must be locally to SU7 since the program works(not works) differently from platform to platform.
It seems to be a programming issue and should therefore be dealt with/responded by the programming staff.

I hope there soon will be a response to this issue from the SU Developing Team. (And I am sure it will!)

I've looked at your model. If you use the user input value in the parent (FaceFrameBase) in the top/bottom rail LenX, it will force the overall length to be the same as the measured length. I also noticed that your Stiles had a tiny 1/64 inch missing in the width. (I may be wrong here). I have made the modifications so you can take a look. There may be other ways to fix the problem. I have noticed that its good practice to use values from the parent in the child component and not from the siblings.

I have tried different settings, moved files and allowed popups etc. It seems to make no difference. No luck getting the report. In my Imac it all works okay.
We have the same OS and it works for you. Maybe some local settings. Well, I will use my Mac for the report function until there is a solution. But I would be happy to know if anybody resolves the problem.

I have Win XP Pro (Hungarian)at work and English at home. I have no problem with the html file popping up just fine however on either machines no matter what I change in the regional settings.

I also found the file reporter.html in the Sketchup subdirectory. May be it's a problem with Win XP Professional. I have XP Prof. SP2.

What is your OS version? I don't think the problem is necessarily about the language, as I have Finnish settings on in both my machines, but I am only getting the error on the one with an English basic OS.

I use XP Professional. What do exactly happen when you click "Generate Report"? If I knew , I could investigate the problem. As it is now, it's like searching in the dark.

I also get the same error when trying to use the Generate Report. I've tried to change browser, but it doesn't seem to help. If it has something to do with language, how can I change that?

After working with DC a while I've found these rules of thumb. You have to arrest me if I am wrong.

1. One sibling cannot make instantly use of a custom attribute value from the others, a redraw is needed
2. One sibling cannot make use of a custom attribute value within itself more than in one attribute at a time.
3. If you make a custom attribute in the parent refer to a siblings value you can use it simultaneously in all parent/sibling attributes.
   So the safe thing to do is to route a value from one sibling to another via a custom att. in the parent. Even so if you want to use it locally in more than one attribute inside one sibling.

Yes.It seems that if you duplicate components with "COPY",they are assigned to Layer0, whatever layer the origin is attached to. It could be intended, but it's probably a bug since it's not practical to have the same components in different layers.
