  • I have a question about using the System's "Create object" action:

    When I use this action I always get a long list of error in the browser (already tried multiple ones). Unless I add an unneccessary copy of the object to one of the layers, the error appears.

    What is causing it? Can you help me solve it?

  • Can you tell us the error you got?

  • It sounds like the message that begins "Assertion failure. No default instance when creating object." There is a lengthy stack trace. But the basic message also says, "This will be fixed in a future build." So I figured it is on the to-do list. Not hard to work around.

  • This is the error message:

    <localhost>

Assertion failure: No default instance when creating object.  You must have at least one instance of every object type in at least one layout.  This will be fixed in a future build...

    The answer to your question is in your error. You MUST have at least 1 of each object on one of your layouts.

  • The answer to your question is in your error. You MUST have at least 1 of each object on one of your layouts.

    Yes, I already figured it out, but that means that I usually have to add an unnecessary copy of the object to a layer where it can't be seen.

    What I want is to have the objects stored in the project and only create them when they are necessary.

  • What you are looking to do is currently not possible in C2.

    I guess you could make a new layout containing one of every object, but I find it easier to just keep the "unnecessary copy" outside the layout, sometimes with the "destroy outside layout" behaviour.

    Thanks for the help. These tips will come handy.
