jad73994 Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 I am trying to use AutoCAD 2011 and REALIZE (timeguy.com/cradek/autocad) to export gcode for use on a custom CNC machine. To begin with, I created a simple line a bit below the XY plane and ran the program. I put in the safety 0.2 as recommended and exported to the recommended file name (changing H: to C: ). It came back with "Error: bad argument type: streamp nil" What the ____ does this mean? Full report from the command section: REALIZE Safety Height : REALIZE Requires numeric distance or two points. Safety Height : Output file : Select objects: 1 found Select objects: Getting selection... Sorting selection...G64 G17 G20 G40 G49 G54 G80 G90 G94 Searching for drills... Searching for mills...G00 Z1.0000 M02 Error: bad argument type: streamp nil Any help (or triumphant anecdote to let me know that I'm on the right track with this program) would be appreciated.
