Patrick, Still no success. I edited the project file but it just crashed CDC! I then extracted the settings ie (page 2) RATYPE 3 Dec TYPE 2 Equinox 2000 etc
and ran the Catgen.... It seemed to work! No crashes and all the folders and files were seen in the output directory. No error txt. Set up catalogues in CDC as per your previous notes (Tycho 0-6, UC3 0-3)UC3 shows a green box and zoomed in on M37....no UC3 stars showing, only Tycho... Re-installed V3.0.16 and tried that.... still nothing. I've just opened the N6000 folder (for example)and find that although all the data files are there (uc34014 to uc34293) they are all 0Kb!!!! I then tried to run the installation project file I had saved and again CDC crashed. Re-entered the input/ output etc and Catgen appeared to run..... When I checked the data file output they were still 0Kb!!????? Has anyone honestly had success using the conversion program and Catgen to get the catalogue into CDC?? ( Just thinking as I type... I should also check the contents of the conversion program.....) Ken --- In [email protected], Patrick Chevalley <p...@...> wrote: > > I agree the explanation can be better.
