64bit win10 no toolpath #9

Have downloaded the latest version suggested by Maria, after installation the program runs very slowly. Also after creating a design and filling out the Fabrication inputs, I get nothing no toolpath created or displayed, no way of exporting any type of gcode to run on the cnc.

Thank you for bringing attention to this issue.

The toolpath should be saved in the same folder as the current file with the same name but a different extension (*.gcode, *.nc, or *.sbp) depending on your choice in the interface.

So for example, if you save your current joint as "my_joint.tsu", when you press on the button to "Export Milling Path" two files named "my_joint_A.gcode" and "my_joint_B.gcode" should be saved in the same folder (one file for each component of the joint).

In the black Command Prompt window behind the application the text with the path should appear like this:

On the two computers that I tried on, it works like this.
To be able to solve the problem, I need more information about where the problem occurs.

Which text appears in the black window after you press "Export Milling Path"?

Also, you might want to try to press File/Save As and save your current joint with some unique name before exporting the gcode. I wonder if it helps.

I do not see Export Milling Path or anything that you mentioned, even after saving a file there is no options for me to do anything other than simply saving the file. There is no gcode file in the saved folder. This is what the command or black screen displays.

There is a button called "Export million path." (On the lower part of the left hand side panel).

Is the screenshot you shared from after pressing this button?

On another note, from your screenshot it looks like the window size of the application is larger than your screen? So maybe you cannot see the bottom part where the "Export Milling Path" button is.
If this is the case, I should look into appropriate window scaling for unique screen sizes.

Correct- my screen shot shows all that I can see of the UI.

Alright. Then we have at least narrowed down the issue: the default window size. We will try to solve this. Let me get back to you when there is an update.
