May occur when optimising and using offcuts
All offcuts for a run have the same 'offcut name' or prefix which is based on the run number or name. For example, for run 00114 the offcut name is X00114 and the different offcuts are numbered in sequence:-
X00114/0001
X00114/0002
X00114/0003
The offcut name is limited to a maximum of 44 characters.
If this error occurs the offcuts are not stored for the run and do not appear in the summaries and cannot be used to update the Board library stock.
This problem usually only occurs when the part list name is used for the run name since the part list name can be up to 50 characters.
The error does not occur if offcuts are not in use or no offcuts are produced for a run.
Notes
- Offcut sizes etc. are stored in an external file for each run e.g. X00114.brd - this file is not created if this error occurs
- The limit of 44 is set by the overall limit of 50 characters for the board code in the board library
- Check the settings in: System parameters
