Hey all, I'm sure many of you are familiar with http://www.opendesk.cc They offer a lot of their designs for free (for personal use only) I've made a bunch of their designs, and it's always frustrating to me that they depend on very specific plywood thicknesses. I've taken their Olivia Desk design: ...

It must be... It was very weird timing as it started right after installing the 9.10 update. Turns out it's happening on other programs too (something I didn't realize because I use Windows almost exclusively for Aspire) I fixed this with the "hammer" method... Just a new copy of Windows. It's quick...

Update:

I installed another copy of Windows, installed Aspire and all is now well... Looks like something with my Windows installation got borked... I can't imagine what it is...

Yup, I already tried that. Weird thing is that this is happening in all versions of Aspire I have installed...

VMware, which I've been using for a few years now.

Also I'm not able to open any files without the same error... Or I should say they partially open... I can see only the 3D preview, nothing else...

Windows 10. I am running it in a virtual machine though on a Mac. I have been doing this for years however with different versions of Aspire and VCarve and I've never seen this...

I'm seeing it when I save locally.... Weirdly the file saves fine, I just get that warning...

Hey all, I've been encountering this error a lot since V9 (all releases)
"Encountered an improper argument"

This happens when saving files, and sometimes when opening them... Has anyone else seen this?

Thanks so much Adam! Really appreciate it. I'll keep an eye out for that patch!

So Gary, I'm with you in that the answer here is to just delete and redraw the slot. In the context of doing one sheet that absolutely makes sense. However, I'm bringing in these cabinet side panels from SketchUp (they're actually exported to AutoCAD format, and then brought into Aspire) The problem...

Gary, I get what you're saying about pocketing a .25" wide slot, and one of the lines being a tiny bit off... I run into this from time to time and all I do to correct for that is to just give a tiny bit of pocket allowance in the toolpath and I'm good to go. In this case, that doesn't work... If yo...

Ok so I'm not missing something silly... Thanks for checking that out. The merged toolpath is a good idea, I didn't think of that one.

Hello everyone! I'm a reasonably experienced VCarve/Aspire user and I'm really stumped on this problem... I've got a file that I've imported into Aspire and it's got a bunch of pockets. Normally I'd just select all of the pockets and make a toolpath... For some reason however certain combinations of...

For those of you that find this in a search for the same question that I had, I figured it out thanks to Gary Campbell. You can use the "fluting toolpath" to create a pocket screw toolpath. I've never had the need to create actual flutes so I had never touched that toolpath before. Turns out you can...
