Lost link in automation
After "cleaning" and drawing in a more understandable way an existing complex automation, I saved the automation and clean/rebuild the solution.
Now if I open the automation (IDE), I get an error msg: Invalid X value for connection block.
And if I confirm to open, all blocks have lost their links.
To what is due that error? and is it possible to fix the error?

I recommend opening your "mainDCMS_Input.os" file with Notepad.
Make a backup copy of the .os file before making any changes.
Your attached image shows your "Automator" reference.
In Notepad, Ctrl+F and search for
"Automator-8D681E9A4372B5B\ConnectableProperties-8D68AB2CB1FB5BF"
Then see if there is a value missing, out of place, or odd value.
It would look similar to this:
<ConnectionBlock>
<DisplayName Value="Properties" />
<ConnectableUniqueId Value="Automator-8D681E9A4372B5B\ConnectableProperties-8D68AB2CB1FB5BF" />
<PartID Value="129" />
<Left Value="220" />
<Top Value="300" />
<Collapsed Value="False" />
<WillExecute Value="True" />
<InstanceName Value="[CONTROL/Component NAME HERE]" />
<OverriddenIds />
</ConnectionBlock>
Also look for the same Automator elsewhere in the xml.
look at <LinkPoints> > point values ( which have x and y coordinates)

I've checked about 400 ConnectionBlock and LinkPoints tags content and I've found only one "strange" (no value missing, no out of place or odd value):
<WillExecute Value="False"> (see img attached)
for an automation (WriteLog) that in all the other cases has Value="True".
But even if set to True, I get the same error: (same msgbox and lost links).
Are there other hints, check or setting to use?

I also add the automation file attached, if it could be useful to understand what raises that problem?
Opening the automation, all links and many blocks are not visible, but they all seem to be in the automation file.
Any help could be useful.
Thanks.
