Hello,
I've tried to import geometries using Gerber files but I get an Error while doing so shown below. The file can be open in any other Gerber viewer program that I have tried
/MASH
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
Hello MASH,
Could you add the file that you are trying to import onto this issue so that I can see where something is going wrong?
Here is the gerber
This is rather strange, since I am able to import it. See the image below:
The only thing that I can think of that could be the problem (and that would then fail for all gerber imports), is that you don't have the (old) Visual Studio redistributables installed. Please install the VS 2008 redistributables from the links below and then try the import again:
The links to download the 64 and 32bit 2008 C++ redistributables are:
We are currently working with the import library to improve this so that these are not required and should be available in the 2018 release.
Let me know if this resolves your problem.
Hello, JIF
Than you for your answer.
I tried to install new VS 2008. Unfortunately I got new error messages and it would still not work to import.
The three error messages is shown in the attached filed
Best Regards
MASH
Just to make sure, did you install both the 32 and 64bit redistributables? Both are required since the library currently uses both 32bit and 64bit binaries.
I did only install the 64-bit version, now when i have also installed the 32-bit it works as it should with the import of the gerber files :).
Thank you for your help JIF
I'm glad we could resolve the issue! ;-)
