Generate Outputs produces more files than requested

ziomau10

Hi all,

In some project I find that using a normal output generation definition causes the outputs files to be generated in a loop for two or even three times.

As an exampe, with a definition like this, and with no variants.

The output folder looks like:

where every output type is produced three times (in this case).
The folder contents are identical apart a slight difference in generation date.

The generation follows this scheme:
First generates all standard outputs, then instead of stopping continue overwriting the main pdv and proceeds generating all xxx2 outputs, and again overwrites once more the main pdf and continue generating the xxx3 folders.
This apparently without any specific settings change.

Dos anyone else experience this problem?

Regards.

    It seems I have found the problem. Looking around into the PrjPcb file I found the following section: OutputJobsCount=2 DocumentReferenceClass1=DocumentReference OutputJobFileName1=Panel24IP30.OutJob DocumentReferenceClass2…

    Very strange indeed. The groups occur even minutes apart. If I were to guess, the button seems to have been "pushed" or "triggered" each time. How is the speed of your system? Maybe a click turned into more than 1.

    OK, I found a possible answer. https://windowsreport.com/mouse-clicks-twice-windows-10/  seems to be a culprit in some cases. You using Windows 10 by chance?

    Thanks for your answer, but I think it is not like you suggested.

     

    If it were, the second click should generate the same files overwriting only the first series.

     

    And also I can say that this is not the case, because if when the generation is over I wait and press the button again it starts a new generation overwriting the standard folders first and then continues to overwrite the xxx2 folders, as if it was programmed to do so.

    I think it is impossible that systematically my mouse is sending two clicks every time.

     

    Finally I am not experiencing this duplicated click in any other application on the same PC, with the same mouse.

     

    By the way, the PC is a Dell XPS with I9 processor and 32Gb Ram

     

    Thanks for you help.

    Regards

    Mau.

     

    PS: To be completely sure, I checked with a couple of apps like: https://www.clickspeedtest.info/mouse-test and I never saw a duplicated click or a click misinterpreted as a double click.

    Well, it would seem to be CS then.

    Sorry I could not help,
