IDKnown Issue
187772

Return		Performance of AD* VI slows over time
If significant changes occur to the map the AD* VI operates on and the VI is configured to mange the epsilon value automatically, the VI runs significantly slower over time.

Workaround: Try one of the following:
  • Set the 'overhaul' Boolean input to TRUE periodically to discard old state data that might no longer be relevant and to increase epsilon again.
  • Use the 'epsilon' input to directly control the value of epsilon and balance the speed of the VI versus the quality of the path that the VI calculates.


Reported Version: 2009  Resolved Version: N/A  Added: 12/08/2009
194486

Return		Cogmation VIs may not work in Starter Kit if .NET is not installed.
Some Cogmation VIs require the .NET 2.0 Framework to work currently.

Workaround: Install the .NET 2.0 Framework.

Reported Version: 2009  Resolved Version: N/A  Added: 12/08/2009
356420

Return		Robotics Wizard cannot load a manifest file in a folder with a Chinese character in the name
Robotics Wizard cannot load a manifest file in a folder with a Chinese character in the name

Workaround: Move the manifest file to a new location

Reported Version: 2012  Resolved Version: N/A  Added: 07/13/2012
361585

Return		Configuration file for Rough Road environment is not correct.
The collision height of the ground in Rough Road is higher than the actual ground.

Workaround: Set the value of X,Y, and Z SGL to zero in the Rough Road.xml environment file.

Reported Version: 2012  Resolved Version: N/A  Added: 07/13/2012
362399

Return		Loading some DAE model files can cause LabVIEW to crash
DAE files saved by certain programs can cause LabVIEW to crash when loaded. If the material tag is missing in the DAE file this crash can be seen.

Workaround: Include the material tag in the DAE file.

Reported Version: 2012  Resolved Version: N/A  Added: 07/13/2012
357648

Return		Built Executable of Robotics Simulation VIs may prompt user to give location of LVODE.dll
Built Executable of Robotics Simulation VIs may prompt user to give location of LVODE.dll even if it is located in the applications data folder.

Workaround: Specify the location of the LVODE.dll each time the executable is run.

Reported Version: 2012  Resolved Version: N/A  Added: 07/27/2012
