Toolpath Error preventing G-Code Saving

image

I have a toolpath which is stuck calculating. It’s been sitting for hours with no progress. Trying to delete it has no effect and saving the file just gives me an error.

How do I get rid of that toolpath without restarting the whole job?

While characterized as an error, that is more informational than anything, and it should then allow opening the saved file.

If after saving the file still has a problem, send it in to support@carbide3d.com and we’ll do our best to look into it with you.

If you need to re-work a file, it’s pretty straight-forward to:

  • export all geometry to an SVG
  • delete it all
  • if there is a 3D model, save that as a PNG file
  • save as a new .c2d file (this will have only the toolpaths)
  • open the SVG as a new file
  • import the .c2d file — this will bring in the toolpaths
  • if need be, create geometry the size of the stock centered on it and import the PNG if there was a 3D model
  • save the file
  • associate toolpaths with geometry one-by-one, saving after each successful association
