Improper Argument

Post by Robert Pettit »

Hello,

When truing to write CNC, after it asks if I want to change material thickness, I run into a problem and it says Encountered an improper argument. Same when I try and save the .esj file, any thoughts please?

do any of your material names include the " inch symbol? I have a vague memory of that being an issue for me in the past... If so, try removing that from you material names and running it again

Someone else chime in if I am mis-remembering

Does your filename have any special characters in it? or any of the cabinet names?

Nope,

Cabinets, 1,2,3, etc.

File clients name.

It's the first time with cabinets on this computer, I can't even CNC file the standard cabinets it comes loaded with. Ecabs 6 build 17. Running on Paralles on a mac. I have the same set up at the shop office and it's worked great. This is one a new laptop, first time running it on this computer. I tried to save the job file so I could email it to the shop and run it from there, but I can't even save the file with out running into the error message.

Thanks for your help
