Recovery from incorrect component settings - bug in FCv7

Hi Guys,

How we can recover from component settings since the component configuration property editor would not open to correct it (File -> Component configuration...) . Instead it just pops up the message:
Error message.PNG
(6.4 KiB) Downloaded 1968 times
I configured initially component in the 'Component configuration' i selected the macros which i removed later from the design. Now i can not open the dialog any longer to change the settings. It looks this to me as the bug. This message should pop up only if we want to export the component, and not if we are still in design stage.

I hope resolution is simple.

Regards,

Igor

Thanks for letting us know.

A workaround would be to edit the project file (.fcfx)
Look for the <apis> section and change the alt to match the name
Or remove the <api > line if neither macro exists
Example:

Code: Select all

			<apis >
				<api name='ChangePeriod' alt='ChangePeriodSim' type='1' proto='1' />
				<api name='Disable' alt='DisableSim' type='1' proto='1' />
