Sorry in advance - bit of a nubie to this. I'm running Sketchup 2015 on a Macbook Pro with Mavericks.
SkechUcam installed OK and I can generate what looks like valid GCode when viewed in an editor - but when I try to launch the Plot GCode window from Sketchup nothing happens (no window visible) Plot GCode is reading the GCode file "gcode_out.cnc" because if I delete it Plot GCode complains its missing. I've fiddled with the SketchUcam misc options to no avail. Any clues?

 

I don't have a Mac so that I can't give you the answer to that but I remember reading about it here in this forum. swarfer had answered it before somewhere. It's a thing with Mac and not with the SketchUcam. It may be in the help file in SketchUcam. Did you look there? If not search this forum.

 

Thanks TigerPilot! - I found the answer on the forum - it seems a separate program called Gplot is fired up by SketchUcam - but its a windows program - so won't work for Mac. But it looks like you can set up a different program to be launched. There are other Gcode viewers for OSX - so I'm going to give a few a try.

 

ah, this is bad news! Just been scratching my head trying to sort this. What did you end up going with Steve?

 

CAMotics is what I use t0 view Gcode.

 

Just downloaded it. Looks superb. Really pleasing to see my first attempts will appear to go through just fine.

I do have a couple of warnings though - and the part doesnt appear to have gone all the way through despite it being told to in Sketchucam?
