Sample Script Error

[HaroldL]

Ok, so I am testing the sample scripts that install with Alibre Design and found that the Pattern Along script isn't working. It prompts me to select the Path and Profile sketches but the only result I get from it is the following:

Does anyone know what all this means?
I've checked/searched my system and found that it does have TinySpline installed.

BTW, I wish I would have discovered the Gear script before I got too heavily involved in my last project.

I can't get Pattern Along to work either - but then again I'm not even sure I'm using it right. I avoid 3d sketches whenever I can.

Do you have 'tinysplinecsharp.dll' inside your Alibre Script AddOn folder inside your Alibre Design installation folder?

Hello Andy,
Happy New Year.
I've tried that too and yes the .dll is in the path and correctly named.
providing the .dll in "standard locations" does not help.

Yes, I have both TinySpline.dll and tinysplinecsharp.dll in C:\Program Files\Alibre Design\Program\Addons\AlibreScript. There is also a License file located in C:\Program Files\Alibre Design\Program\Addons\AlibreScript\Licenses\TinySpline.
