Edgecam error 24

[alphonso]

Tweaked an 0TC post for the new machine, 21i-TB. Compiled without issue. Went to generate program and get error 24, can't open file. On bar at bottom of screen message: generating path 27 for turret 1.

Tried posts that have been running forever and get same message.
WTF?

I'm guessing you haven't edited the model at all? If you have or haven't, can you find the offending toolpath and edit it out long enough to make it generate? Was the model created in an older version of EC?

Seemed like this sort of stuff took obscure/arcane knowledge from the tech support guy to fix, and is largely why I ended my support contract for EC.

No editing. Just drew a 2D profile from print and programmed it. Finally had to walk away from it.

This morning, opened some other drawings/programs and they worked just fine. The drawing in question still gave error.

Deleted it and started over. Works now.

Aside: Reseller in 1995 said to delete work and start over or reinstall Edgecam whenever weird errors like this show up.
