Frequently asked questions (FAQs)
What else should I know about this product?
IMPORTANT NOTES!
This program stores the position data from components only. As a result, if you move a body instead of a component, this program will not know! This can be used advantageously if you need a part moved in all your configurations, but don't want to update each individually. Just make sure you are aware of what you are doing.
Planned updates:
-Configuration file downloading
-Automatic uploading of the configuration file on save
-Automatic downloading of the configuration file on close
Are there any known issues with this product?
This is the first version, and as a result, there may be errors I have not caught. Here is a list of things to still be updated:
- Part positions are stored based on their names. As a result, if 2 components have the same name they can trade positions. Additionally, renaming a component will cause the parts to no longer move to their stored positions. If it is necessary to rename a part, manually update the configuration file in notepad and replace all instances of the old name with the new name.
- The configuration file is stored with the name of the associated file. If the filename changes, the configuration file name will need to be manually changed accordingly.
Is there additional support information provided?
