    Are you seeing this warning when Sketchup starts?

    Gcode does not follow regional settings for decimal separators, it ALWAYS uses the . (dot) for floating point values.
    BUT Sketchup is aware and formats numbers using the Windows regional settings (and there is no way in the code to prevent this), so you need to make sure that your decimal separator is set to the .
    Control Panel, Regional Settings, Advanced, change the decimal separator to a . and apply then start Sketchup.
