Control Nesting Problem, "too few parameters, expected 3"

Post by Daniel Odom »

This is the first real problem I've encountered with our CS45. I tried to nest an ecabinet part with two pockets and it must have corrupted something. Every time I try to load a job, dxf or cut list I now get "too few parameters, expected 3" and the job won't load. If I hit "add" instead of "load", the job will load but when I try to nest I get the same error. I've tried updating control nesting and doing a system restore; now I'm out of ideas. Anyone have a clue as to what's going on?

If you are not using the "Recut" feature, try this...

On the controller,
  • Place the machine into E-STOP and close THM.EXE.
  • Use My Computer or Explorer to navigate into the "C:\Rolling Nest\" directory.
  • Find "history.mdb" and delete it. (Don't worry an empty one will be recreated.)
  • Find "history_save.mdb" and delete it. (Don't worry an empty one will be recreated.)
    (** Do not delete "History_install.mdb". It is unrelated to the other two.)
Restart THM.EXE from the Desktop icon and try Control Nesting.

Hope this works....
