Recursive Diagram Contents (or not)

[Doug Blake]

OK I know I was being daft, but its easy to get caught up in a recursive document generation that goes on till the PC blows up.

Component with a diagram that has its parent on the diagram. Set to “Diagram and all contents” and its goodbye document. Not quite that bad since stopping the WINWORDEXE process kills the generation and the file can be reloaded.

So the suggestion is, a check before generation of recursive possibilities.

Sorry about this Doug- it’s always a possibility when doing ‘diagram contents’ and the contents have elements which contain the diagram again. eaDocX has SOME code to detect infinite loops, but it’s a hard to one to spot 🙂
