gadget not working

[Sawnsand]

V carve Pro 9.012, updated and current… installed the chamfer gadget from the Vectric gadget site.... I select a vector I want to run it on, and this is the message I receive.. "attempt to call a nil value"

....tried restarting, re install numerous times ..keep getting same result

Using Chrome

Any help would be appreciated

The installation path is correct as far as I know. It's only gadgets that have support files or have multiple steps that install into a sub-directory. Simple stand alone ones have always installed in the root folder for the program version in gadgets.

The problem with the nil value is caused by a bit of development code that looks like it's been left in the file by error. If you edit the chamfer.lua file (notepad works fine if you don't have any other editor) and put -- before the line which says require("mobdebug").start() and save the file it will then work

Thanks for pointing this out, the problem has now been rectified

hi guys,
I'm having the same issue while using the box creator.

when ever I press enter to create the vectors, I get a error code 909

attempt to inbox local 'out_group' (a nil value)


I have also tried reinstalling etc with no luck.

I'm no computer wizz, and have no idea how to even get onto the coding of the file.

can anyone help get me back on track with some basic steps on rectifiying this?

thanks in advance

Which version of Vectric software are you running and where did you download the gadget from?
