DDE issues?
Are we the only ones seemingly affected or does it seem like the newest version of Keycreator has frequent issues with doing Direct Dimension Editing on solids? Nearly every time I try to change the diameter of a cylinder using DDE it returns an error and highlights the model but then we select Ok to continue the model updates. Also and even more frequently we'll add a dimension to an object (usually a basic solid like a square or a rectangle) and the DDE function returns an "api_move_faces operation unsuccessful" message and then exits the function without updating the model when we click Ok. This is occurring FREQUENTLY and a lot more often than it did in previous versions.

RE:DDE issues?
Greetings,

Same issue here with the latest build.

The function works in spite of the (annoying) error message.


All the best,

Mike

RE:DDE issues?
I received a message from support that this function is broken in the latest release but fixed in the upcoming update. For us at least, the DDE on cylinders works despite the failure message but other DDE functions on even the simplest solid shapes will often fail. I look forward to the update.
