Description:

System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException: Could not find a part of the path

Solutions:

Cause:

Bad text in View name inside Project. There is also a Global Parameter that needs to be removed after this command is ran, and receiving this error.

In this example, this error is caused by a " \ " in the names of the Views in the Project.

The following characters cannot be used in view names, as they can cause file path conflicts:

< (less than)
> (greater than)
: (colon)
" (double quote)
/ (forward slash)
\ (backslash... as mentioned above)
| (vertical bar)
? (question mark)
* (asterisk)

Solution:

Remove the bad character from the view name
Under the Manage ribbon, look for Global Parameters
Locate the Parameter containing your file path with the bad character, and delete it
Re-run the RTS Points command after completing the above steps, and it should function normally again.
