Upgraded GX Works2 - Cross Reference Broke

5 posts in this topic

I was running GX Wroks2 version 1.31H, and in structured ladder any time I did a cross reference it would populate the "instruction" column with "read" or "write" for that cross reference location. This was extremely helpful for finding the cause of problems, especially for cases where a tag was used in many places. Now, in version 1.48A, this column is blank. So, if I want to find the coil that controls a tag, I have to go down the list opening every instance in the cross reference until I find it. Between my co-worker and I we have six calls in to tech support now, and the answers we have gotten are: "that has never worked in the old versions" or "I have to load the new software yet, so I'll get back to you". We are in the middle of startup on a big project so this is making us look really bad when it takes longer to chase down problems. Is there a work around, or a patch for this? I am running Win7 32-bit My co-worker has the same problem with XP-Pro Thanks. Edited by boov

Update: Tech support finally worked with me and we found something. I had "Create cross reference information after completion compile" option set in the Basic settings in the options. With this set I can't make any changes under the "condition setting" tab to turn on the feature to show the read and write information. When I turn it off, cross reference gives me the read and write information, but each cross reference take a LOT longer. I think this actually makes me slower than opening up every instance in the cross reference to find the coil. This is horrible, why can't this work like version 1.31H???

Are you working with simple or structured projects? Which programming languages?
