I've been posting cad/cam files and then converting them to sbp files with the shopbot console. Been doing fine for 2 years and many many files. Just today it stopped saving the sbp files. It will convert them and if I check the preview box it will run a preview which is perfect. But if I try to find the sbp file it's not there. Searched the entire drive so it's not saving to another folder. Just not saved. Tried this on files that I've previously converted and same result.

???

Any ideas?

I had some trouble with finding/ saving toolpath files and finally figured out that I was using too many dots . in the file name.

yours sounds like a different problem from that tho
