ImportError: DLL load failed when saving as .plt

Postby upended » Sat Apr 04, 2015 2:02 am

I am getting this error when trying to save as.plt in Inkscape 0.91 on 64 bit Windows 7 Pro. Any idea what module is missing and how I can fix this?

I am able to save as .hpgl and rename the file as .plt to get the file loaded into my laser cutter software, but I'd rather eliminate the extra step.

UniConvertor failed:

Well, I probably can't be much help here. But fwiw :-)

There's an error log that might be able to provide more info about this. I'm not sure that it will, but it might. It's located in your Inkscape user directory. If you don't know where that is, look at Edit menu > Preferences > System > User config. That will show you the path to follow in your file manager, to find this file -- extension-errors.log. It will show you all kinds of errors, and most of them will not apply. But look for anything that might be related to PLT or your kind of hardware, or I guess, Uniconverter.

I suppose you might want to investigate getting a current version of Uniconverter, if there is one. Somewhere I've seen some info about Uniconverter, but I'll have to look around. I'll post again if I can find anything.
