or what does any of those messages mean?, I consider myself new and ignorant to this but any help will be appreciated.Įverything has been restored to the way it was before the update but no luck, mach3 won't load any new g-code created but the old ones work perfectly. To give you more details on what I noticed after doing the update on sheetcam, here's a few error messages that where popping up.Īfter opening sheetcam and start creating a new g-code I would get this message "sheetcam has encountered a problem and it needs to close" after clicking ok it gave me this "Microsoft visual c ++ runtime library error" every time it closed, after that I took a look on the debug log and I started noticing these messages "postprocessor ok", " action failed, plugin not licensed" etc.ĭoes anybody have any ideas about what could be causing this problem. I run the post processor on sheetcam and it doesn't show any problems when its done processing, I save new files as I've been doing for the past 1.5 years and everything seems to be working smoothly until I try to load the new g-code on mach3, nothing comes up except for one blinking dot on the right screen where y and x meet, mach3 doesn't show any error messages at all and on the left screen it shows the drawing that I created but no movement or commands at all.
#Inkscape svg to sheetcam software
Hello everyone, its been a while since I last asked a question on here, here I am today, I've been using sheetcam to create my g codes for the past 1.5 years with the same software version up until last week I did an update on it while working on a new job, long story short I finished my new job and I created the g-code perfectly as usual, mach3 loaded and cut my last g-code just fine also every other job created before last week is working excellent on mac3, now the problem I'm running into right now is that any new jobs that I create (I'm using inkscape to create drawings) don't seem to be translated into g-codes anymore. I will upload the new gcode and hopefully one of you guys will be able to help me out. Load the SVG file you want to draw or cut into Inskcape.

I just came back from after the holiday and will try to create anew gcode to see if you guys have better luck with it that I over here, now the odd part is that when I pot-process the gcode it doesn't give me any error messages but as soon as I open sheetcam this is what the debug log showsġ:13:57 PM: Loading C:\Program Files\SheetCam TNG\plugins\mach\Mach.dll.
