Proteus Gerber file won't parse

[Thomas Ender]

Good evening,

I tried every possible solution to the problem but it seems as if Proteus Gerber files aren't being parsed.

Could you please inform me if it is a bug or if I'm doing something wrong?

Thanks

They work just fine:

Which version of FlatCAM are you using? Windows, Linux, Mac-OS? Did you get any errors?

[Thomas Ender]

I'm using windows and FlatCAM 8.3

Always gives me Failed to parse file.

It is possible that this is a problem in version 8.3 and that has been solved in the development version. I will try this on the released 8.3. Any chance you could test the development version?

[Thomas Ender]

Do you mean running it from python directly? I tried to find a guide on how to go into the development version and couldn't find any :/

Thanks for your help though :)

Hello :)

I tried running the codes in Linux and the development version, giving me a couple of errors while opening files, nominally Error code 4 - Wrong argument something (not at the office right now) but it seems like there's a bug. I'll try running it on another computer though and check in with you again.

This is the printout in release 8.3:

This is related to the '+' sign in the coordinate numbers. Therefore this is a duplicate of #142 which has been solved.

Please use the latest development version as explained here: http://flatcam.org/download or wait for the next release. I hoping to release in the next couple of weeks depending of how I make progress solving other bugs.
