@cope413 I was aware of the first layer adjustment. It was still 0 however even though the control parameter Z offset was 0.08mm. Not sure if the layer adjustment should have said 0.08mm because of the control setting - problem?

@cope413 Thanks! you nailed it. I found the Z offset in the Controls tab set to 0.08mm. I never set it and don't even know when it was introduced.

@shaunholt no auto leveling... I found the Z offset in the Controls tab set to 0.08mm. I never set it and don't even know when it was introduced

I am running a custom Anycubic Mega-S with a MKS Robin along with the latest Marlin. When I slice in MC, The Z gets offset "up" 0.08mm. The Printer is zeroed and the offset in MC for the Z for the printer is zero. The layer height for the first layer is 0.25mm, but the GCODE sets the Z to 0.33mm. I am just asking to see if there is a buried setting or does the slicer automatically add 0.08mm for some reason.

maybe I just can't find a few settings, but I need a coordinate display for objects when I am designing. Having a grid with no numbers and no way to change the grid size, makes the design aspect of mattercontrol unusable for me. I do detailed mechanical designs with many objects having to be precisely placed and sized. Having a center or edge dimension and being able to set a numeric value for placement is a necessity. I know I can set the snap to grid (I am assuming that it is all in metric), but without knowing where the part ended up in the whole picture makes things too difficult.

I run several printers with MatterControl, but I could never make use of the design screen the way things are now. I use TinkerCAD for designs, so I am not looking for a CAD level type package. I just need a design tool that makes life easier when manipulating objects for a design.
Here is a typical part -

@larsbrubaker thanks! The only place I could ever find was after already installing MC. There was even a forum message about that exact things some weeks back and the only mention was in MC.

As for the profiles issue - it affected all my slicer profiles - solid, 35% file with different bottom and top solid areas. I was able to fix it, but only after I figured why my prints started shifting.

I got a notice saying a new release was available today. After dealing with filament travel speed parameters changing in the last release to a higher speed than I set before, I will not load a new release just so I can read the release notes. Of note, there was nothing mentioned in the last release notes that would imply any filament profile would get changed just by upgrading to a new release. I had to go through all them and change the travel speed to a lower value (it was 45 across the board - the upgrade changed the value anywhere from 80 to 120 on all the them). The higher speeds were causing the X axis to mistep and create a shifted print.

I don't know whether the issue that I had with the upgrade was something that was missed in testing or a new feature that reset values in the profiles. Why isn't as important as it needs to not happen again.

Actually, you can select a part and then click the Support Icon. The drop down have two small buttons. If you click the right side you get support added everywhere. If you click the left side, the highlighted part turns yellow. I do use support but I always have MC create it for me. I have inadvertently clicked the left side and had my part turn yellow... Give that a try. I believe it is what you are looking for.

I run seven Anycubic i3 Mega-s printers on two windows machines running copies of MatterControl. You can reach me at sthatcher@smtdesigns.com and I can send you a profile. It is just a Other Prusa variety from MatterControl's prespective., but you do need the bed size, etc. I also run Marlin 1.1.9 and just installed BLTouch sensors on two of the machines. I design and sell parts for hobby rocketry.

@erikescudero The print dialog box used to say that a part may need support and there was a "button" on it to bring up the generate support dialog box that the little icon you are referring brings up also. I just found it handy to be told (as a reminder) if I brought in a part that MatterControl thought needed support. The reminder is what I am talking about. The button that I dismissed was not actually the final generate support dialog box, but it did bring it up.

I hit the dismiss button and I would like to bring back the reminder, but I can't find it. I have two computers running six printers and I like to have each system behave the same way.
