Message Types

# C.1 Message Types

XTrackCAD generates three types of messages:

  Notices, which appear in their own window and require you to press a button to make a choice or dismiss them.

  Error messages, which appear in the Status-bar (Section 3.1) and are accompanied by a beep.

  Information messages, which appear in the Status-bar (Section 3.1) without a beep.

  Notices and Error messages that might be encounter are listed here with a explanation. The Recent Messages menu item on the Help (Section 2.6) menu contains a list of the most recent messages. Selecting one of the entries presents information on the particular message.

  The notation abc|xyx indicates the message can appear with either of the values (abc or xyz). Items in UPPERCASE indicate numeric (such as lengths) or string (such as filenames) values.

Section C.2 provides detail explanation of each information or error message.
