Hello there,

I have a little question. Yesterday i want to open a G-code file but i clicked on a Factoryfile. All my processes are gone now. Can i get them back or are they all lost?

I hope you can help me here

Greetings

Hi,

This has also happened to me before. If you don't have a saved factory file, then I don't think it is possible to recover your processes.

The real problem here is how you (and I used to) use the processes. They are not supposed to be used as presets for different materials. So you are not supposed to have a preset process for printing with PLA, one with ABS, one with TPU, etc. Those different settings are saved as profiles (on the main process window), so when you want to print with PLA, you load your profile for PLA that you have saved previously and add it as a process. If you need a different layer thickness for certain parts of your print, or if you want to print at a lower temperature or speed at certains parts of the print, you add another process to that print job. These processes are supposed to be used for that print job only.

I know it feels more intuitive to use these processes as presets but this is not what the designers' intention.

I know its of little consolation, but take a read of my contribution to this thread:

It should show you how to avoid losing things again.....
