Macro Error Message says it can't find a tool that doesn't exist

Has anyone ran into a macro error that states it can't find a tool that doesn't exist?

For example, I have a macro that works find in and of itself. But when I connect another data set to it, it states it cant find a tool that doesn't exist. The exact language is "The Designer x64 reported: Can't find ToolID == 12." But there is no tool with ID of 12 in the macro workflow.

I've attached the macro in case needed.

Hi @jbh1128d1,

Can you post an image of the workflow? My guess is you may have a Detour tools contained in it. If all of the tools that are connected to the Detour Input don't terminate at the Detour Output it can cause an error where it can't find the tool.Ex: Detour Connections for a macro

If you delete just the macro output alone connected to the bad end it should fix it. Then you will need to figure out how to run both streams of data through the same Detour End tool and separate them back out after.

It's possible that the XML in workflow that you are adding the macro to got corrupted. You can copy and paste all the tools into a new workflow to clear that up.

Thanks Sruhl. now it says it can't find tools that actually exist. I open up the macro, click on the tool (but don't actually do anything) and save it. I then rerun and the message is that it can't find another tool.
