    Solid CAM Fail

    I've been using a particular solid CAM file for ages, its set up to do a particular job and has not cuased me any problems until today.

    Today however, when I ask it to export the g-code for any step it gives me this error message:

    "Line 380, error 41828: System variable 'xc' cannot be declared"

    Any ideas what this might mean and how to fix the problem?

    Cheers,

    Chris.

    pinguS, a big thank you, that's solved it.

    Could you explain why this happened and what exactly changing xc to xcnew in the ggp file does?

    Thanks,

    Chris.

    God knows, I read that somewhere, I believe it has something to do with using XC which are used by Solidcam itself, so you cannot declare them?
