Hey!

Something that I can't understand...

With ExcludeBuilder.V2, I want to make an excl-file for UACP

It gives me:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<FSData
version = "9.0"
xmlns:xsi='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance'
xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="bglcomp.xsd" >
<ExclusionRectangle
latitudeMinimum = "54,76873"
latitudeMaximum = "54,78057"
longitudeMinimum = "69,16594"
longitudeMaximum = "69,20521"
excludeAllObjects = "TRUE" />
</FSData>

I save that file as UACP_excl.xml in the Bglcomp-directory, where both bglcomp.exe and bglcomp.xsd are residing. They are both the files from FS2004BglCompSDK.

Now I drag and drop that UACP_excl.xml to Bglcomp.exe and nothing happens. Whereas, when I do the same with the Chelan.xml example that was in the Bglcomp directory after install, from this latter one I get a bgl-file, as I also expected to be the case but I didn't get one from my UACP_excl.xml.

The only difference of which I can guess that could have been the reason why it did not work with my file, could have been that the lat/long values in my UACP_excl.xml are decimal, whereas the lat/long values of Chelan.xml are deg/min/sec.
So, and to be sure, I converted my values accordingly, but still got no bgl-file ...

What can I have done wrong?
Does anyone know?

Though Bglcomp is throwing an error indicating the Lat-min. and Lat-max. are out of order, I think the problem may be the commas (,) instead of decimal (.) in the xml coordinate values. When I convert the , to . the compile is successful.

In order to see errors in Bglcomp paste the following 3 lines of text into notepad and save as Compile.bat. Place Compile.bat into your Bglcomp folder. To compile, paste your .xml(s) in the folder and run (double-click)Compile.bat . Bglcomp will run in a DOS window and pause allowing you to see success or failure, with any errors listed. (Note: running Compile.bat will compile ALL .xml's in the folder at the time.)

***************copy/paste the following 3 lines*************

rem This batch file will convert XML files to BGL files

bglcomp *.xml

pause

Hey! Dave,
Thank you for the help!
Telling me that something is wrong with lat/long order, you made me thinking and watching, and indeed...
I'm living in Belgium in the Dutch speaking part, and we use a so called belgian keybord and have belgian characterset. And here de lat/long values usually are written with a COMMA and not with a DOT.
As soon as I changed the commas into dots, the compiler did the job like it should.
The error was found.
Thank you for the help.
