    I see there have been several topics on PCGen imports on the forum, but none of them seem to be having quite my problem or version number. I am using D20Pro 3.5.7 with trial version and PCGen version 6.04.01

    When I try to import my either of my characters from PCGen into the game they produce this error:

    This plugin is invalid. Please recompile it using the latest API and try again.
    Caused by: Unexpected exception
    Caused by: For input string: "5 by 5".

    Please attach your PCGen Character, and the file you exported. This way we can see what's going on. Thanks.

    Here is the file I exported, I tried to export it with both csheet_fantasy_generic_export.xml and to csheet_fantasy_generic_export.xml.ftl the former didn't seem to work, the file would not even open after creation (or import into D20pro) and the latter generates the document attached.

    I am not sure how to attach the PCGen character as it is not an accepted file type on this posting.

    Thanks for getting back to me so quickly.

    To upload PCGen file types, simply change the extension to .txt or ZIP the file to upload.

    Okay there are the files.

    Also unrelated question, I have an archetype that I would like to use Arcane Healer for Bard and it does not appear to be in any of the source files. It is in Pathfinder Player Companion: Faiths & Philosophies, which does not have a listed .pcc file on the source page of PCGen is there anywhere I can look for that file?

    I see. So apparently PCGEN added some extra data in their export now.

    In the meantime, there is a quick-fix you can perform on all your exported characters.

    Open up the XML Export file and find the following line(s) somewhere around line 114-124 then modify them:

    Before:
    Code:
    		<face>
			<face>5 ft. by 5 ft.</face>
			<short>5 ft. x 5 ft.</short>
			<squares>1 x 1</squares>
		</face>
    After:
    Code:
    		<face>
			<face>5 ft.</face>
			<short>5 ft.</short>
			<squares>1</squares>
		</face>
    Save.

    Now you can import into D20PRO.

    Enjoy :)

    You can always create it yourself if no one else has created this, you can see this youtube video for some help adding it to PCGen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7f4E4m1jH9Y
