Retrofit does not do the job on large files + Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Hello,

I am a big fan of the retrofit function. It works like a charm on small files e.g. < 1500 words.

But with bigger files (I am currently working on files > 5.000 words) it does not work :

I either get the message "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" and then can not move forward with the job

or if I manage to get the process of retrofit running by changing the tolerance i get the target text modified by the source text ( in the target there is a mix of the source and of the target but not my modifications).

 

Any ideas of what could be the problem(s) ?

I work with Studio 2017, SR 1. Thanks

  • Hi ,

    This is just the sdlproj file which is a file containing metadata for the project. I'd need to whole project. So go up a level and zip the contents of the folder. That should contain the source file, the sdlxliff files etc.

    Regards

    Paul
