error message when opening file

I keep getting the following error messages when I try to open certain graphs:

Error processing keyword: notev2 in file
[file path]

after selecting OK, another error message comes up:

[FileOpen(“[filepath…grf”])]

I have erased the files and recreated them (from a template file). I have rebooted. A couple of the recreated files open and some don't. Also, when I try to open the files immediately after saving them, I can, but, after opening another file, I can't.

Thanks for the help.

When you get a chance please e-mail me a DPlot file that is giving you problems. And let me know what version of DPlot you're running.

Thanks for the examples. This is a silly error, easily fixed. Unfortunately you'll need to edit your files in a text editor (Notepad will work fine) to make them readable by DPlot. In your text editor search for 'NoteV2'. The following line should have 4 numbers, separated by at least one space or a single comma. When the offending files were written, the field width of the first number is 1 character more than anticipated, so you get:

NoteV2
0.1204E-01-0.3300E-01 1 8

instead of

NoteV2
0.1204E-01 -0.3300E-01 1 8

If you insert a space between the first two numbers all will be OK. Sorry for the difficulty, and thanks for pointing out the problem. I'll be posting an update later tonight that you can get with Help>Check for Updates.

Fixed this one and the other problem you pointed out in your e-mail, with XY label settings being inappropriately preserved in new documents. You can get the update with Help>Check for Updates.

Thanks for pointing out the problems.
