variable watch

[jvh75021]

Trying to drag a variable into the watch pane but it won't go. So I set break on first step thinking the sequence had to be started, still no go.

thanks,

jvh

Hey jvh,

You do need to be stopped at a breakpoint in order to add a variable to the Watch View but I'm not sure why this isn't working on your end. I selected Execute>>Break on First Step as you described and I was able to drag my variable down to the Watch window without problems.

Are you sure you aren't dragging it into the Find Results window instead? It may seem like a strange thought but I accidentally did this on my end as well =].

Make sure that you are dragging the variable from the Variables view in the execution document and not the sequence file document. The execution document has a variables tab that is filled in only while you are at a breakpoint. The version of the variables view in the sequence file document is for initial values only, the variables view in the execution document shows the active state of the variables for that execution.

Hope this helps,

-Doug
