temperatures have become random since last update?

I set my temps to 80c on the build plate and 250 on the extruder for PETg on my flashforge creator pro.
But when I run the build it is using some random temperatures (100c on the plate and 230 on the extruder).

Before the last simpolify3D software update I'm sure it was working correctly.

I think what is happening is that the x3g file contains not the set temperatures but some last setup used before. The gcode file has the right settings.
This is very annoying.
The softweare is broken. I have to pause the print as it starts and set the temperatures manually.

Has anyone else seen this?

I have reported it to support and I am awaiting an answer. I'd like to read the x3G file to see if it is actually the same as the readable gcode file but I can find no application to do that (other than my printer which is not reading the desired temperatures obviously).

The attached zip contains my factory file, gcode and x3g in case anyone can point out something obvious I'm doing wrong - because surely a fault like this would have created howls of protest from users immediately (unless everyone is just carrying on printing in their favorite material and unchanging temperatures and didnt notice it yet).

Re: temperatures have become random since last update?

OK I will check Override GcTemp on the printer settings when my print finishes. hopefully that is the problem (printer panel set temps overide the G code).
