Some time ago, I think whilst Dean was with you, I started getting an error message loading after I changed my PC and upgraded to windows 10:
Error Loading File rubysketch_plusspec/plusspec.d/tools2/tools/slab-recess-edit-tool.rb
Could not find included file ‘rubysketch_plusspec/plusspec.d/tools2/tools/slab-recess-edit-tool.rb’
When I emailed him I think he said it was a bug of some sort that would disappear on a future install or Plusspec version.
Unfortunately I’m still getting it on this PC and need to use the slab penetration and void tools which don’t work.
To remove this message you’ll need to uninstall, then reinstall PlusSpec. There is a section at the bottom of our FAQ page which explains how to do this. The link to this page is below.
I’ve tried this and unfortunately it hasn’t worked.
I have another license on my laptop which works fine.
I tried copying all the RB and RBZ files from the same workinng directories on the laptop to this PC and still no joy.
I’ve just stripped it all out again and uninstalled, and downloaded and installed 2016 Release 3, and the same thing still doesn’t work.
To be specific, the penetration, void and recess tools draw the shape of the penetration, void and that I want and leave the outline on the top surface, but don’t then cut the opening.
On the recess the same happens but it creates the thickening around the recess

It sounds to me that it might be the version you are trying to reinstall. What version of PlusSpec are you reinstalling? It will tell you on our splashscreen if you’re using the latest version and if there’s an update available. Please see attached image below.
There is a new version (v16.3.0) that went live the end of last week. Would you be able to please uninstall the program again then reinstall it with the latest version. Here is the link to download it.
Would you be able to please let me know if this fixes the issue you’re having? If it doesn’t then we’ll need to organise an online meeting to have a look at it.
Thanks for you reply. I’ve already uninstalled the earlier version V16.2 and am already running V16.3.
I’ve just uninstalled and run it again.
I have quite a few other plugins running and am wondering whether there’s a conflict somewhere?
An online meeting would be a good idea… when I’ve had some problems with the PC a few weeks ago (SSID storage etc) the tech support at the manufacturers used a routine to remote access my PC whilst I was watching and they solved the problem I was having.
I’d be quite happy to go down that route with you if it solves the slab problem.
I don’t believe it to be related to any other plugin but we’ll double check that with the online meeting. We use a similar system and will need to remote access your computer.
Would you be able to please send an email to support@rubysketch.com? Once we receive the email someone from our technical support team will be in contact with you to set up the meeting.
