Edit not working,-again.

[sivtek]

Hi.
When I try to edit, the edit do not transfer to the machine. It works in Mac 3 but not in MSM.
On upstart I get this message: "The G-Code Utility could not run. This is probably because the MSM Run User GCode Utility script has not been created or the user script may have a syntax error in it."
What can I do?

Regards

Please provide more information. What page and tab were you on? What button did you click?
From the message, I suspcet youa re on the load page and clicking the "G-Code Utility" button. For an explanation of that button, please see section 15.9.2.2 of the user manual.
If you are trying to edit loaded gcode, then I suspect you meant to click the "edit" button.

Yes, I was at the load page and had loaded a program. I wanted to edit the g-codes in the program and hit the Edit button. The Notepad ++ appear and I can do the changes (edit) in the Notepad ++ , but the changes do not affect the main program.
In the load page I hit the G-Code Utility button this message come up: "The G-Code Utility could not run. This is probably because the MSM Run User GCode Utility script has not been created or the user script may have a syntax error in it."

When in Mac3 the edit work. In Mac3 Menu Config/general Config dialog box the editor is Notepad. If I change this to Notepad ++ the edit do not work.
I have tried to import Notepad to MSM but is unable to load it,- can not find Notepad using the browser.

Can it be that the Notepad ++ is corrupt?

I just tried it and it all works fine for me. configured the gcode editor to b notepad++ (location on this PC: C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++/Notepaf++.exe)
loaded a gcode file,
clicked the edit button (you use the edit button to edit gcode - don't use the gcode utility button for that).
the loaded file loads in notepad++.
I changed the first line.
SAVE the file - did you remember to do this before exiting notepad++?
exit notepad++
changed code shows up in the gcode window when the file reloads after notepad++ exits.

I did not save the file. Saved the file and it is OK again!
(Did not have to save before, when closing notepad a message appeared asking if I wanted to keep the changes).
Thanks Dave

FYI, not all editors behave the same re saving a file. apparently notepad asks on exit, notepad++ does not.
