    Default Errors with CPP

    I was sitting here at work with nothing else to do (thank you government contract) when I decided I would design a couple of Upper wall cabinets in CPP.

    The easy part, enter dimensions and hit the nest button, set templates for each layer and save a shopbot toolpath. Well I opened up the editor and did a sb-preview on the toolpath and errors abounded. I get like 15 of these.
    I will attach some of them. Also, I have this cool Program Called Cabinet Planner by Rob McCallister that is an easy draw and export to dfx files, and the ever popular csv file for importing into CPP. It will import all the dfx files in the csv file as long as the last entry is not the same type of material as the first. For instance, if I have 50 parts that are plywood, the 51st part has to be simply ply. It throws error4 below. if not it then It costs me a whole sheet of plywood for one little part. Has anyone ever use these two pieces of software in conjunction with one another? It seems that there is a problem importing the dfx files into the parts nester.

    If anyone has any insight on what is going on here please let me know.

    Thanks

    I beleive your problem is how you have your tool parameters setup. I don't remember which it is but if you have your feed set to inches per second change it to inches per minute or vice versa. Hope this helps.
