Hello,  
everytime I try to Export a Simulation in RobotStudio with the Collada Add-In, the process stops and I get this Error Message:

_RobotStudio .NET exception: Exception of type ‘System.Exception’ was thrown._  
_============================================_  
_Base exception: Exception_  
_Exception of type ‘System.Exception’ was thrown._  
_at RobotStudio.Services.GraphicConverters.Collada.ColladaExport.ProcessAnimData(SimRecording recording)_  
_at RobotStudio.Services.GraphicConverters.Collada.ColladaExport.Export(String fileName, ProjectObject root, SimRecording recording, Boolean skipInvisibleObjects)_  
_at RobotStudio.UI.Simulation.SimulationControl.\<Simulator\_StateChanged\>d\_\_9.MoveNext()_

The Solution is quit big (~500MB), but I have also tested some Demo-Solutions and they also do not work.  
The Message appears after the Add-In wants me to save the File!  
RobotStudio Version: 6.04.01  
Collada Version: 6.03 (downloaded from ABB Add-In Website)

Does anybody know this Error or has an idea what could be the problem?  
Thank you for your Help!  
Bernhard
