Prt standard, control software 3.6.xx size 96x48, dual router.
Booting up yesterday and power went off during boot. So computer restarted and booted up normally. When I go to open shopbot on the desktop I got a missing shopbot.ini file.
I thought no problem I have the settings file saved from last time I upgraded control software. Using the UR command I try to load the sdb file and get a runtime error. I don't ever change these settings and now have totally bumfoozled things.
Went to the settings file that comes with the software and loaded proper PRT settings, size ect but lost the accessory router on the control panel. Can't for the life of me remember or find the documentation that walks me through this.
Any help appreciated

Thanks in advance

An ini file is basically a custom definitions file. Be responsible and save these definitions in a safe file. Remember hard drives fail. And a static discharge or powerfailure at the worst time can fry that file. That way you don't have to do relearn and rebuild the definitions from scratch like I just did. But Hey......we are back up and cutting.

Peace out.
