Just upgradted to PSM v7.0.5. I'm using the Bar Code plug-in to place a barcode on the piece, then trying to create a sequential set of Code128 Subset A barcodes using the COUNTER function. Once placed on the layout, I click on the EDIT EXPRESSION, choose COUNTER, but after entering the start, end, and step, the barcode image disappears in the text box. Any ideas?

Thanks.

I see what you mean. I assume you also see "Error: No input characters" in the Warnings pane.

There seems to be a lack of validation when you right-click a Barcode plug-in object, choose Edit Expression, and then apply an expression like COUNTER(1000, 2000). This is an invalid expression for the Barcode plug-in but PSM allows it anyway.

Instead of right-clicking, try double-clicking the Barcode plug-in object. You should now get a validation error when applying COUNTER(1000, 2000). The expression should be STR(COUNTER(1000, 2000)).

Thanks, I'll log this as a bug.

Thanks very much. I do indeed see that message in the WARNINGS pane. Thank you for the work-around. How long, typically, will it take for Objectif Lune to come out with updates? Is v7.0.5 (Build 85) the most recent version as of now?

Yes, that is the latest version. Typically we release several versions a year.
