It appears you have a error in the file you are trying to post process. Try another file that you had done before and see if it works. If so you have a corrupt file. Then you can recreate the file and try again.

Do you use Mach3? Try closing the file in Mach3. I've had this happen to me.

Yes I use Mach 3 but the problem started in my house computer in sheet cam.There is no connection between my shop computer and my house computer.I have contacted Les over at the Sheet cam forum and he is working at it also.Thanks all.

As was stated on the SheetCam forum, the OP had changed the post and appears to have left out an "=" sign in setting his Ref Distance. There was an error when he saved the modified post stating that fact.

Just thought I'd catch everyone up on what the problem is, Steve

save you license for sheetcam and remove the sheetcam folder from your system and down load it and install your license that should fix the bad post processor.

There needs to be a * after the Scale. Now it works again. Got that from Les at Sheetcam forum. Thanks all.Allan
