Hi! I've made a tutorial and there is a comment saying that FlatCam is not openning fabrication files in Windows Xp FlatCam 8.1. I'd search in the Discussion group, Manual and Common issues and there is no info about proteus. Do you know if there is any issue with this? What should I ask to help fixing this issue? Thanks!

Also make sure you test version 8.3

Hi, I've recieved data files from the user that got the issue, and he's getting .txt files from Proteus. Those are the links to download the files: bottom copper https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0BNcPR9x_TYODNvOVdUbTkzeDQ/view?usp=sharing drill https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0BNcPR9x_TYZXR0ekZQVm5BNG8/view?usp=sharing cutout https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0BNcPR9x_TYTm5CODZJSUJLUms I've tryied to import it it my computer and it says: Failed to create geometry after parsing /path-to-file/ I guess .txt files are not supported by Flatcam.

Luis, FlatCAM doesn't care about the extension of the file name. Please open it with any text editor and compare it to the example in the "File Formats" page in the main menu. Cheers, JP

Thanks JP! I've told the user with the problem to check the file formats page. Thanks :)
