I get a error "Cannot delete object due to dependencies" when I try to delete a drvier object. What is a dependencie ?

[bert 80]

How can I get around this problem and delete this object that is not used anymore, but is still generating comm alarm since there is nothing connected at the other end ?

A dependency means the driver object is still being used some place else in your process file, i.e., another object or expression is refereing to the object or a datamember within the object. I will assume you have the newest version of Lookout. If so, go into edit mode and click on the "Object" item in the menu at the top of the Lookout window. In that menu there is an item called "Connection Browser." This will show you the inputs and outputs of any object in you process file.

You will. in all likelyhood, find an output of the driver object in question. Once all outputs (by editing the appropriate objects) are removed you will be able to delete the the driver object.

Hi,

And in the event you're using an older version of Lookout (e.g., 3.x) then open the LKS file in a text editor and search for this Object. And delete all connections/occurances of this and save the file. Recompile the LKS file from the command prompt to get the process file.

Hope this helps,

Khalid 🙂
