I’m getting an error message that reads “cannot open file: open error” in Carbide Motion when I try to load the MeshCam toolpath file. The toolpath was saved out as a "basic gcode-inch (.nc)". I also tried file extensions "basic gcode-inch arcs (.nc) & "basic gcode-mm (*.nc). None of these file types opened in Carbide Motion. The software & machine seem connected as I can move the cutter and zero out positioning. I cannot load a file.
As I am new to Shapeoko/ Carbide Motion & MeshCam, any suggestions would help tremendously!
I just realized that the proper export extension is Shapeoko GRBL-Inch (*.nc). No need for replies. Sorry for the frantic post!
Okay, I think it’s down to some sort of system error. Things to check
ensure that the app is running under account settings which have read / write access to the directory in question
check to see if the file has been re-encoded as Unicode from ISO-Latin 1 or some other suitable 8-bit encoding
If neither of those pan out, then document each thing you’ve tried and send it in to support@carbide3d.com along w/ all the system specifics (OS version, computer specs, Software build #, &c.) and someone smarter than me will take a look at it.
OK. Here’s the scoop… I moved the wrench file to my DOWNLOAD directory and I can open the file using Carbide Motion. It looks like the application doesn’t have R/W access to the directory My Documents/Nomad folder.
It could be an application issue or Windows 10/network server issue, but I can live with that anomaly.
