I have the Stepcraft laser pp (Stepcraft_Laser_mm.pp) in the My_PostP directory

Re: Error on saving Stepcraft laser toolpath
Is it the post processor that comes with VCarve? I think it isn't as the name displayed in the dropdown doesn't match the standard one which would be displaying "Stepcraft Laser (mm) (*.tap)"
Post processors for the Laser module have special instructions that post processors written for laser handling before the module came out won't have.

Thanks Adrian!
Problem solved - I found that saving the laser toolpath worked fine on my main PC. 2 PCs with what I _thought_ was the same install but when I looked at the contents of the PP file - one was different. Now both are same and it's working great!
