Hi, I have had this happen to me before but I am at a point where I cannot afford to recreate the station from scratch!!! The sequence of events is pretty much as follows: working with path/targets from the elements tool bar, add some targets into a path, delete some targets, then boom, FATAL Error! then, click YES pretty much terminate everything without saving, I normally do NO which proceed with error, I try to backup the robotcontroller and save the station and try to restart the application. The problem is now, it won’t let me restart the station at all! The Fault log reads: RobotStudio debug file. Main Thread ID: a84 Crashing Thread ID: d7c Exception Address: 4daeca1e Exception Thread StartAddress: 4d7742a9 Crash time: 251109 Type:CM\_DEBUGSTATE\_APICALL Time from crash:4203 ms State:ABB::Robotics::robotstudio::Stations::RsPathProcedure: :Name::get Type:CM\_DEBUGSTATE\_SIMSTATE Time from crash:30313 ms State:LG\_SIMULATOR\_STATE\_READY Type:CM\_DEBUGSTATE\_UNDOSTEPNAME Time from crash:37875 ms State:Set as Active Done! 3 entries.

Can someone please help me? Let me know if any other information is needed for debugging. Thanks! ---
