error occured while writing toolpath to file ...

Post by DizzyG »

A project I'm working on keeps giving me an "error occured while writing toolpath to file ..." message says to "Check that the file is not read only," (it's a new file as I've deleted all old .ngc files) "is not open in another application," (no other applications are using it), and "there is sufficient disk space available" ( there's over 930Gb available AND I've tried a different drive). Anyone have any ideas before I reload software?

Thanks, Eric

Why do it, if you're not going to do it right the 1st time?

I expect that it is the "\" in the file nam. Try "_" instead.

Nice catch, unfortunately that was not the fix, although it led me to the fix. I'm sure the "\" did not help but I had to remove the inch ( " ) punctuation from the file name also.

Thank you, your suggestion led me down the path to get it fixed.
