Title: edit gcode... where does the file go?
Post by: HeadSmess on March 21, 2013, 04:06:20 AM

on the puter im on right now, my room puter, i just have mach3 to try out code in the comfort of my lounge.

i start with no file loaded, and hit edit gcode.

i write something simple like g00 x 10 y55 z-22 a256

i click close, and get the prompt to save changes.

i click yes and whatever i have written appears and is displayed.

normally. on this puter it doesnt cus i once clicked "save as" and saved file on a memory stick.

now when i "edit gcode" i click close and nothing appears.

how do i get it to reappear? wheres the file location that it does load? whats the string?

i know i can save it in a particular location and find it again, but its not convenient.


arrrgh!


if i hit edit gcode with a file loaded, and fiddle with it, its cool.

will just uninstalling and starting again help?

The second scenario has the file named. You never had a file the first time since you didnt name or save it.
