GPX not recognized in command prompt

[Legomore]

So, my 8th grade teacher said he was getting to Flash Forge Creator Pros before summer break started, and I thought I would help him when school starts again, as I personally have a CReality CR-10. I am very very used to Cura and ReplicatorG doesn't run for some reason on my laptop, so I found out about GPX. I installed it, extracted it, put a dual extrusion benchy gcode in the folder, and then went over to CMD. Whenever I try to enter in the GPX command, the Command Prompt says "CMD" not recognized as an internal or external command. Does anyone know how to fix this?

The gpx.exe must be in your environment's %PATH%. That is, it must be in one of the directories included in the value of the PATH environment variable. If it is not, simply typing it's name will meet with that error. If you do not want to change the PATH environment variable, then you must enter the full, absolute file path to the gpx.exe file in order to execute it. And it will require you to supply the command line parameters as well. E.g.,

C:\Program File\GPX\gpx.exe -r -p -m r1h C:\foo.gcode C:\foo.x3g

where "C:\foo.gcode" is the gcode file to read and "C:\foo.x3g" is the .x3g file to write.

There is a GUI form of GPX but I've never used it myself,

P.S. Don't use RepG for slicing. All slicing development on it was terminated in April 2012. Use Flash Forge's "FlashPrint" instead for FlashForge printers.

You may also be interested in GpxUi which gives a GUI around the translator.

Also, I believe Cura 2.6.2 comes with a plugin and GPX embedded in it so you can just save as x3g directly.
