2D Design files (DTD) not exporting to (FNC) even with Plot

[zowat]

Hi all,

I had a problem with 2D Design today and am hoping someone may be able to shed some light on it for me! I was unable to export my 2D Design file to an FNC file. I was using File - Plot - Microrouter link as I always have done (and had been using the machine in this way all day with no problems). Neither had I done anything different with the files or the way I set the machining parameters up.

When I opened up VR Milling and tried to find the FNC file, I could only find a saved .dtd file instead. I re-tried everything I could think of to save the design but it still kept returning as a .dtd file.

Please can someone help?

Thanks,
Zoe

Zoe,

1. Where there any error messages ?
2. Can you search your hard disk (ETC) for *.FNC files, the save path may have been altered somehow
3. If you are running VR Milling Ver 5 you can save your design and a DXF file in load it straight in to the VR Milling Ver 5 wizard

In the Folder where the techsoft software is installed there is a file called 2ddes.ini

This file contains the path where the FNC file is created.

By default it will save in C:\DENFORD\DATA

It is possible to change this path. See the other posts.

Check you have read right access to the directory where the files are saved.

You may be logged onto the network as a user without the access rights

Thanks Steve & Bradders,

I'll have a look and see if these things work and get back to you if not...

There was an error message, but I don't remember at this stage what it was - the only thing I remember is that it told me I was trying to load a .dtd file into VRMilling.

Anyway, I'll give it another go...

Cheers!

Zoe
