Error: Sketchup Cutlist to Cutlist Plus Express

[toddbg]

I'm trying to use the Cutlist plugin in Sketchup to export a file to the Cutlist PLus Express program.

The generation of the file seems to go ok, but then when I try and open the file in CPEx I get an error.

The error is:
AR-101: Error reading document: file is either corrupted or has an unknown version number.

Does anyone have any thoughts?

Do I need to upgrade the Cutlist program itself to a newer version?

Good question. Which version of the Plugin do you have? The author's last version is in the Extension Warehouse. What version of CutList Plus? Do the CutList Plus people have a way to contact them for help on this? Unfortunately the author of the plugin won't be able to help.

Edit: I just realized you are referring to CutList Plus Express instead of CutList Plus. It could be a compatibility issue between the plugin's export and CutList Plus Express.

Hi Dave!

Sketchup: v2015
Plugin = v4.1.12
Cutlist = Cutlist Plus Express v2013 1.0.1

Thoughts?

Thoughts? Have a beer.

I honestly don't know but I would try to contact the CutList Plus author. I did a little searching and didn't find much useful info about CutList Plus Express. Is it really releated to CutList Plus?

I expect if you were able to get in touch with someone from CutList Plus (Bridgewood Design?) they might be able to take a look at the file exported from the plugin and see what is missing or what needs to be changed. If it's a change required to the plugin to make the export file usable, we'll have to find someone who can edit the file.

Out of curiosity, will CutList Plus Express accept a CSV file? If so, what happens when you import a CSV file from the plugin?
