Tape split doesn't work

Post by jpatton »

I have been using tape split function through v-carve pro 8.0..However with the recent update, I haven't been able to use this function. When I try to save the tool path I get a writing error..Anyone know why or what I need to do to fix this. If I open 8.0 or lower it works fine.
Thanks in advance

Is that the correct path? Seems a strange place to be saving toolpaths. Is that path the same in V8?

It doesn't matter where I try to save it too, that the message I get. albeit the location will change to where I try to save it too..Whether I try to a hard disk, flash drive etc. Like I say, worked fine up to version 8.5

In the off chance that that file is read only, have you tried saving under a different name?

Yes sir..I've tried saving under different names, locations even went into the folder and made sure it had read and write settings in the properties...I just don't know why it works fine up until the upgrade. I'm at a loss :?

Have you contacted Vectric Support and sent them the file? They will be able to tell you what's up.
