    Screenshot from 2023-06-10 11-09-55.png Hoping someone an help a bit of a noob - I have run into an issue where Openbuilds CAM is not completing the G-code generation (the generating, please wait with looping dots appears and continues ad infinitum).

    The following error also pops up and then disappears as an alert:
    error- TypeError:LoalPt2 is undefined
    (screen shot of the message attahed. A googling didn't help me much but I am assuming it is related to the problem).

    Dismantling the file I was trying to get G-code for, it seems to be caused by some text vectors that I had wanted to carve (along with a bunch of shape).

    Would love to know if anyone else has run into this and if they have a solution?

    Peter, thank you so much for the rapid reply. You pointed me very much in the correct direction (although it took me a while to find the offender!) - there was a random open path being created in my SVG, related (I joke not) to the character "U" in Inkscape (font sans-serif). Deleting all U's or editing the path to lose the additional down stroke of the 'u' solved the issue.
