In my atemtps to get my Arduino to do something , I tried Pycam for engraving it generated G-code and the default save location is Docume~1/Jeffrey/Locals~1/Temp/METB32922/SAMPLES/name , do you think I could find this after saving , Microshit search engine cant find it , who saves files in hidden folders :bang: ? just a heads up guys . |

Jeff, I'm using XP. The Search facility in Windows Explored has an option to 'Search hidden files and folders' in the advanced search area. Hope this helps. Dave. |

The App might default to saving there - if so that's rather bad design; you should never actually ever save anything you want there - that's in Windows volatile "Temp" storage - and well-behaved apps are meant to clean up anything they park in Temp when the application exits (and Windows will periodically clean-out any detritus that apps leave behind in Temp). No user should ever have to go and do anything in Temp - and that's one of the reasons its hidden. The reason you couldn't find it is possibly because the app had done as it was supposed to and deleted it when it exited! Dave |

Oh I found it all right just took some working out , I use XP and clean out temp and outher files to stop XP slowing down on a regular shedule lesson learned . |
