    I am just starting out with Pycam and wanted to do a quick test of the program using inkscape. I keep getting the above error. I think it may be my error in set up or something. Any tips?

    PyCam 0.5.1.1
    inkscape .48
    Windows 7

    Even PyCam 0.5.1.1 is still one of the best G-Code path generators available today.
    SO... to get PyCam to work in windows (tested upto windows 10), you need:
    gs955w32.exe: 9.55.0 is the LAST Ghost Script supported by PStoEDIT (addresses DXF error)
    pstoeditsetup_win32.exe: 3.78 latest available
    inkscape-0.92.5-x64.msi: light weight release (newer versions work)
    pycam-0.5.1.1_standalone.exe: Star of the show :)

    (you "might" also need VC_redist.x86.exe=Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable )
