V8i SS3 - Cell Selector Will Not Load

Works that way for me.

You sure you don't have something set? Is it Just your PC? Could be something set/not set in your customized WorkSpace?

Is this set to a location (MS_CELLSELECTORDIR)?

Is this set to a location(MS_CELLOUT)? I'm thinking it may not be able to create that temporary "Untitled" csf

Both of my variables are set to the same location.

MS_CELLSELECTOR is not defined in my .cfg file.

I have opened the cell lib that I want, then I select Utilities>Cell Selector and a window pops up asking for a .csf file.

It should just display the cell library in the cell selector window with pictured buttons. That is not appearing.

Just flat out not working.

Hi cswnow

If MS_CELLSELECTOR is undefined

Then if you attach the cell library to your file using the Element > Cells (Cell Library dialog)

You can then go to the Utilities > Cell Selector and M-Sta should display all the cells in the attached Cell Library in a temporary (Undefined) csf

If MS_CELLSELECTOR is defined to a FileName.csf it will not display the cell library attached to the file.

I am having the problem. You shouldn't have to use the variable MS_CELLSELECTOR if you do not have a .csf file.

By choosing Utilities>Cel Selector then choosing any .cel library a window should pop up showing buttons for the contents of the chosen cell library. The window does not pop up.

This is a problem that I can't seem to fix and am not getting any help.

Carl, thank you!

It turns out that MS_CELLSELECTOR was defined, but it pointed to a folder, not a file.

I'm guessing since the variable was defined and niot pointed at an actual file, it was asking for one.

Thanks again!

Its not clear if the variable MS_CELLSELECTOR is defined in your instance, if it is pointing to a *.csf file that does not exist it will produce this behavior.

May be run a debug to verify communities.bentley.com/.../msdebug-file.aspx
