Flat ITL

Hello,

I'm using PowerRail Track SS4 and it seems that my ITL file has been corrupted and, somehow, all the templates of the ITL has their constrains with value 0. 

Do anyone knows what is reason of this?

Thank you in advance,

Carlos Molina

The ITL was completely ok the last time I opened it and I don't know what happened. See the file attached. I also attach the file propperly working before the lastest changes.Without bug.itl

  • This issue should be fixed with 2019-R3 (10.08.xx.xx).

    When it does occur I found that you could recover doing this:

    1. close Openrail
    2. change windows setting from . to ,
    3. open Openrail
    4. check the itl is good
    5. close Openrail
    6. change windows setting back to usual, so , to .
    7. Open Openrail

    Painful if you have the issue many times per hour but at least you don't lose anything.
    This recovering workflow worked each time until now. Hope it will be the same for you.

    And hopefully we won't have this occurring anymore with 2019-R3. I haven't use it enough to say yes.



  • I can confirm this workflow (changing to comma then back) works, the ITL has to be the default one CIVL_ROADWAY_TEMPLATE_LIBRARY

    UPDATE :

    I'd like to share another parameter that seems to mess things up:

    I had changed my windows language preferences to French, and had got since a lot of flat ITL issues.
    To check, I copied the flat ITL to a Virtual machine in US language, but France as Region, comma as decimal separator.

    The ITL loaded FLAT.

    I changed the region setting to "United States", and ITL loaded intact. I had changed nothing else, no change in decimal separator, ...

    So from this experience, if flat ITL syndrom happens, then check you region settings:

    If your region setting is set to your local area, set it back to United States and check the ITL loading is ok.

    If not then apply Jean-Pierre's procedure.

    As stated "Windows and Apps might use your country or region to give you local content".
    So my guess is something in Wondows or ORD  takes into account this setting rather than the effective one you had set in your prefs as decimal separator. So ORD expects default setting for locale that is in my case a comma for French.
    Since I changed "Crountry or Region" to "United States", not flat  ITL.

  • We have had this problem many times, even in 2022-R1.

    This steps always seems to fix it.
