    Dear all.

    I have this Library node that has worked great until I updated it.
    Now I get a red dot when placing the node on the canvas in a new graph.

    Drilling down I can see that it is a X-ref that generates this dot, but why I don't know?
    The node works when running inside the library graph.

    The color(s) of the pins tell you specific things:
    White: Has not been executed (no temp file exists behind the pin)
    Yellow: The node is executing, and a partial temp file exists
    Green: The node is finished and all of the temp file is available to downstream nodes
    Red: The pin is not connected to a node that will ever produce any data.
    Orange: The pin is downstream from another node that has a red pin (see above)


    In this particular case, the XREF itself is another composite - open up the XREF and look inside of it.
    You'll find that the output pin is disconnected, or that it is connected to some node that has been disabled.

    Thank you for your answer Stonysmith.

    But I really can't find whats wrong.
    I made a short video of it, sorry that the sound is not very good, I recorded it in a car while traveling.
    But I think you will hear what I am saying.

    OK, there seem to be no solution to this.
    I'll just rebuild my graph from scratch.

    I don't have any good answer based on that video, it looks pretty odd. I would suggest just trying to change out the X-Ref node in the library and see if that solves it.

    I did that... also replaced the X-ref with the same result.

    I reverted to a previous version of the library brg, so now it is working, though, that file is missing a lot of development don the last 2 months.

    There was something wrong with the X-ref, I cant really say what the problem was.
    But when I use a lookup node it works.
