 Hi. I've been trying to get CuraEngine to work from my command line. I try to slice an object by running

.\CuraEngine slice -v -j C:\Users\Ali\Documents\Projects\Cura\settings.def.json -o "output.gcode" -l "C:\Users\Ali\Documents\Projects\Cura\input.stl"

 

But it returns this

[ERROR] Couldn't find definition file with ID: creality_base
[ERROR] Inherited JSON file "creality_base" not found.
[ERROR] Failed to load JSON file: C:\Users\Ali\Documents\Projects\Cura\settings.def.json

 

I've tried changing where the files are stored and using different settings.def.json files, but I always run into this. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Thanks

    The error already tells you what is going wrong:

     Inherited JSON file "creality_base" not found.

    You need to make sure that that creality_base is in the same location as the engine, it can't find it otherwise.

        (Sorry, was out of office when this released)

        This update is for...
        All UltiMaker S series  
        New features
         
        Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
