Hi there,

3.0.2 is out but it still forgets my macros. To reproduce this:
- set up all three macros and name them accordingly
- start printing
- click on emergency stop button

Result: custom macro names gone, 2nd and 3rd macro GCODE also gone, 1st macro GCODE stays. This issue persists since 3.0 for sure.

You probably have the firmware overrides enabled. That means that you have told the software to override your firmware settings. That is why things are getting cleared out, because the stock firmware settings do not include your macro commands.

So there are 2 easy options

1) Click "Edit Process Settings", go to G-Code tab, and disable the "Update firmware configuration" option. This way you won't override your firmware settings anymore.

2) Go to Tools > Firmware Configuration, enter the custom macros that you want, and then click Export at the top to save those settings as a new name. Then go back to "Edit Process Settings", G-Code tab, and leave the "Update firmware configuration" option enabled, but change the "Firmware type" to the name of the new settings you just exported.

Thank you, I'll update my settings accordingly.

I understood you but I still think this is a bug because the first macro stays there forever - only its name sets back to default "Macro 1".

I'm pretty sure the stock marlin firmware settings already include a single Macro 1 that does a 5cm jog in the Z-axis. So it's doing exactly what the guy above said. It was loading the stock settings.
