A2 Plus won't "add a part from an external file to the assembly.

When I try to add the first part to my assembly, I get this error:



Running the Python command 'a2p_ImportPart' failed:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Program Files\FreeCAD 0.17\Mod\A2plus-master\a2p_importpart.py", line 339, in Activated
importedObject = importPartFromFile(doc, filename)

Cannot mix UNC and non-UNC paths (Z:\Desktop\SubDesktop\Free CAD\Mini TBM Assembly\fidget_frame.FCStd and \\Mac\Home\Desktop\fidget spinner)

The reason of the error seems self-explanatory:

Cannot mix UNC and non-UNC paths (Z:\Desktop\SubDesktop\Free CAD\Mini TBM Assembly\fidget_frame.FCStd and \\Mac\Home\Desktop\fidget spinner)

I'm confused, are you on macOS, or on Windows?

Sorry I dropped off the map. I'm using Windows Parralel on a MacBook. I did fix the file path by moving the file location...dumb mistake. Now, I have another problem where the part imports, but with a flaw...

Posted that as a different question just now (I kind of haven't done anything with FreeCAD since this post till now):

Is there a certain reason beyond the current issues with the Mac version that you don't use the native MacOS FreeCAD?
