Hello, I am having issues loading a file from carbide create to motion. I design what I want then save it. I have to goto a website to create a gcode. I enter that file to create a gcode then attempt to upload it to carbide motion. Once I get the files entered I get a message that says “error on line 1- unknown character.” Just curious if anyone else has had this issue and how you fixed it.
Thanks
What site are you converting the .c2d file to gcode? You can edit the gcode files in a text editor like Notepad on Windows. Find the offending character and remove it and save the file.
C3D machines do not accept every gcode command that is possible in gcode. Since it is line 1 it may be a comment with out the proper () to encapsulate it.
There shouldn’t be a need to use the conversion website.
Save toolpaths into a .c2d file, then load it into Carbide Motion, then send it to the machine:
What does the 3D preview of the .c2d file show under Toolpaths?
I’ve had that before. I just open the file in create and save it again.
