The Files tab allows enabling or disabling a CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check) verification.
Files tab
Every time a project or library is created, E3 internally stores a CRC code for this file's data. Every time a file is opened, this CRC code is then checked. In case that check fails, that is, its CRC code does not match data, loading this file is aborted, indicating file's data corruption. This may be due to hardware failures such as memory, network, or storage device, among others.
However, if a project created with the latest version is then modified in a version previous to 1.00.019 build 203, this CRC code is not updated. This means that a file cannot be opened again in new versions, because its CRC check fails, even though this file is not corrupted. To solve this question, enable the Ignore CRC check option. Thus, a project can be opened in the current version.
In this case, this option must remain enabled until all objects edited in previous versions are saved by the current version, which then updates its CRC code.
NOTE |
It is not recommended to edit .prj files in older versions of E3 and then open these files in new versions, because there is no guarantee that file settings are not lost during this procedure. |
