# Howick CSV files do not export properly

You've successfully exported CSV files. However, you're having issues with the file itself:

* The file contains inaccurate punch names and locations
* You cannot find the CSV file in the exported folder

Read below to troubleshoot the issues.

## Solution 1

Make sure to use **C+C\_CH Stud families** in Framing Configurations.

1. Go to settings > **Load Families**:

2. Loaded **MF C+C\_CH** families will appear in the project browse&#x72;**:**

## Solution 2

If you're already using C+C\_CH families, make sure to use them correctly.

1. Use C+C\_CH Stud family types for vertical elements:

2. Use C+C\_CH Plate families for horizontal elements:

## Solution 3

If you're not using inverted cuts (e.g. vertical stud receives a notch/lip cut and a track receives swage), then:

1. Go to **CNC Metal Exporter** > **Export Setup**:
2. **Uncheck** the box **Analyze Cuts for Inverse Connections**
