Hey Laura,

I've tried to replicate the error you get, but without any success. The example works as intended for me. Did you download the zip file and run it without any modifications? Could you turn on Highlight Execution and tell me exactly where the error occurs please?

Also, what Operating System are you running? And which version of LabVIEW and SolidWorks do you have installed?

I have posted some explanations and a potential workaround to this thread.
