Offline Programming (GUI) Errors

#1
Hello. I am trying to study how to put a GUI on a program using this https://robodk.com/doc/en/PythonAPI/exam...amming-gui. I am testing it on a weld simulation, but it is not working. I would appreciate the help so I can better understand how to use Pythong API on RoboDK. 

When I run the program, I get this and I don't understand it:
Code:
PS C:\Users\Andrew L. Nguyen> & C:/RoboDK/Python37/python.exe "c:/Users/Andrew L. Nguyen/AppData/Local/Temp/Prog2_4.py"
Invalid item provided: The item identifier provided is not valid or it does not exist.Exception in Tkinter callback
Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "C:\RoboDK\Python37\lib\tkinter\__init__.py", line 1705, in __call__
   return self.func(*args)
 File "c:/Users/Andrew L. Nguyen/AppData/Local/Temp/Prog2_4.py", line 143, in ExecuteChoice
   RunProgram()
 File "c:/Users/Andrew L. Nguyen/AppData/Local/Temp/Prog2_4.py", line 51, in RunProgram
   poseref = target.Pose()
 File "C:\RoboDK\Python\robodk\robolink.py", line 4307, in Pose
   self.link._check_status()
 File "C:\RoboDK\Python\robodk\robolink.py", line 764, in _check_status
   raise Exception(self.LAST_STATUS_MESSAGE)
Exception: Invalid item provided: The item identifier provided is not valid or it does not exist.

This is the offline programming GUI example from RoboDK that I am experimenting:
Code:
# This example shows how RoboDK and the Python GUI tkinter can display graphical user interface to customize program generation according to certain parameters
