About Error 3985kpats

Hello,

When I share table objects with variants, software giving "Internal Program Error 3985.k.pa.ts." message. What is this? And why? (I attached the screenshot)

Thanks

Hi Notrino,

Internal program errors are unkown to us mere mortals only Xara developers could tell you what this is. However delete the table and save and close the file. Re-open it and hopefully the error won't show again. Try reinstating the table and see what happens. Get back to us. :)

Hi Egg Bramhill,

Unfortunately, the problem continues.

This is a bug in Xara Pro Xv19 and easy to replicate. Import Table02 (or drag & drop from the Designs Gallery) > the table correctly appears in the layout. But attempt to share it with all variants and you get the error message you refer to. The same error applies to other tables too.

Not ideal, but complete the table in one variant, then copy and paste it to the others. This error may be fixed in Pro+ and the new Web Designer +?

Gary, just tried it in XaraPro+ and didn't get any errors on creating a mobile variant, how ever the table does update between the variants so it's not much use, your still better off using your method.

Egg, I believe you meant 'doesn't'. However, you are not getting the error as the XDA does not actually Share between Variants; it is actually copied.

If you delete the Variant Copy, select Share... of the Table on Main, you get an error.
It is a great advance as it is now 3986.k.pa.ts!

The trick is to self-group the Table then Share Across Variants.
The Tables are then connected and will update each other for Text changes.

Any of the 'SmartTable' operations still fail but at least you still have limited text changes without a complaint.

I can see the logic that a SmartTable layout might need differences across variants and that Xara is preventing sharing but to just drop an error message is very poor coding and testing.
Xara needs to review it Help detail: https://helpandsupport.xara.com/xara...-variants.html
