No Tools->Options->Machine Menu in S3D V5.1.2

Hello Community,

In Simplify3D version 5.1.2, there is no Machine menu for printer configuration under Tools->Options.
The documentation refers to this menu.

Where can I edit existing printer settings in version 5.1.x?

best regards,
Mike

With V5 we added a whole new collection of scripting options that can be used to implement new commands. The old setup in V4 only worked for a set of predefined commands, and many time you needed more control than that to add completely new commands or modify things in more complicated ways.

What particular change are you trying to make?

Sorry for the late response.

I have to modify the printer settings für my self made delta printer. There are some values wrong (i.e. Diameter) . And for that i cant find the right menu option.

You can change the diameter by going to Edit Process Settings > Output tab > and look in the Machine Definition section.
