Error[0]: Unable to locate ADDON (ID=XXX) to DCP

Overview

OpenPlant Isometrics Manager generates an Error [0] Unable to locate ADDON (ID=77) to DCP
ID number of ADDON my vary, because of selected component count. If I will select same component with less count then number might be smaller.

While generating isometrics, ADDON errors are general concern which could appear due to modeling supports, notes or other components not placed properly or in some cases it also happens due to isometric generation process.           

Steps to Resolve

Case #1 - Error [0] Unable to locate ADDON (ID=77) to DCP

1. Check Intermediate file which is an l00 file. User can do a right click on error message and get the intermediate file.
   
   
   
   
2. Now use search or scroll till you will find same ADDON 77
   
   
   
   Now we know that this is some Annotation component
   
   
3. Search for same ADDON further or scroll down till you will find it in BOMLABELS section. 
   
   
   
   Firs I have check what PARENTID it has and who is Note's Parent component. As you can see PARENT is another Note component and its PARETNID is same. Notes are pointing to each other and it is not clear on which component it might be placed.
   If this is Note on the Note, then both should be placed on same location and after comparing their location coordinates we can see, that this Note has only X coordinate. This means that Note is placed somewhere in space and I am not able to see or select it for checking. Only on a specific view or by using component selection by LineNumber or other attribute, Isometrics generation might be successful, but when we are selecting components manually, on a view in which it is impossible to include it, then it fails with ADDON error.
   
   We need to find this Note in Space and after using ZOOM Extents command we can see that model is zooming out very far, but we can't see any component in space.
   When view is zoomed so far away, then this already shows us that some component or note or dot is placed somewhere in space very far from model.
   
   
4. Easiest way to find this component is to place simple line on same coordinates points, like in this example we have X=27.93, so I will place line by giving X coordinate as 28
   
   
   
   
5. After hitting Enter I have zoomed in to look at this point and found this Note together with few braking rings.
   
   
   
   
6. I have deleted those components assuming, that all what is required is already on pipeline and tested Isometrics generation again.
