STW2DXF Support 0017

File conversion error.

Derek,

Thanks for that, I've downloaded the latest version but I'm afraid we still have the problem running against
a particular OS Polygon dataset extract.

I’ve attached the two files (iupt.abd, panic.txt) although I’m not sure if they tell you much – probably mean more to you than me.

The output directory has several of the files I expect in: 

If I try opening the .dxf.temp file in a text editor, the last few lines look like this: 

Although I suspect that doesn’t help much either – I could e-mail you part of if but the whole thing would be far too large.

Unfortunately I’m working from home today, so I can’t send you the full dataset until Monday when I’ll be back in the office – 
I imagine you will need that to see what it’s doing.

Andy.

Andy,

I've logged the error here:

You're right of course. We do really need the data to investigate it
properly - but I think you might be one the right lines with your
polygon theory since the abend file suggest something is going wrong
with the 'hatching'.

Send us the data on Monday and we'll get straight onto it as soon as it
arrives.

The error was due to old code being called which was allocating a symbology array. This was previously used when we were triangulating polygons as each triangle needed a symbology when being output. It had to store the array as it processed each polygon because the symbologys and ids for each triangle had to be written out after the actual triangulations. Because hatching is simpler this is not needed. See STW2DXF Change 0003
