"13088: Temporary file error." When Translating DXF Files

Technote 142
Product: CAM Connection
Date: 12/96
Version: 9.x

Problem:
When translating DXF files with CAM Connection 9.xx, you get the following error message:

13088: Temporary file error. Not enough disk space. Execution stopped.

Execution is not stopped, and the application continues and writes a good file. If you try to convert another file, the CAM Connection may hang.

Workaround:

• Go to CAM Connection's File - Preferences dialog and turn off "Input Entities Summary" and "Input Entities Listing."
• Exit the application.
• Restart CAM Connection and convert the file.

Background Information:

We are currently experiencing problems with the reading of "LEADER" entities in DXF files. Reading the entities from the file will produce multiple log file errors like:

• Error parsing the entity which starts on line #22840
  The entity is missing its 'height' field (group code 40).
  Defaulting missing value to '1.000000'.

  Error parsing the entity which starts on line #22840
  The entity is missing its 'width' field (group code 41).
  Defaulting missing value to '1.000000'.

• When the information is accessed in the program, error 13088 is reported to the user. The only place that these entities are accessed is during the writing of the log file. Once the information is accessed, the program will become unstable, and does not allow you to press Go on the main panel a second time.
