Screen editor not saving in demo mode?

Postby A_Camera » Fri Dec 30, 2016 5:36 pm

I am on a trip without a CNC and planned to work on some macros and screen changes when I have some time in the hotel room, but when I make changes those are not saved, so the next time I start UCCNC up, the changes are not visible.

Is this normal? I thought only the motion is prevented in demo mode.

No, I designed an entire screen in demo mode. Make sure that your saving the correct screen.

What do you mean? Isn't the opened screen the correct screen? ...and isn't it saved automatically when you exit the editor?

No, it's not saved automatically. You have to save it, from the last tab (or second to last) I think in the editor.
You are correct, though, in that it can't be the wrong screen. :oops:

To save the screenset you have to press the Save screenset button on the Screen editor on the File tab page.

Thank you both. I thought I tried every Save and Apply I could find. In the end, I copied and renamed the default screen set and saved changes in that, also renamed the screen set name in the configuration file from the default to the new one and that seems to have solved it.
