Saving a new material in Ruby

#1

Hi.

Ruby doesn’t seem to save new material… wondering if its some kind of permissions issue or am i doing it backwards… because there are plenty of customised materials in the database made by people…

Could someone give me a direction?

Thank you.

I’ve got the same problem, so I’ll ping @lasertechs one more time.
I can create a new material based on an existing one, but I’m unable to add any “Effects” to it.
I click on the button to add an effect, I can name the effect and choose if it’s Engrave or Cut, but I cannot save it. The button to save the effect stays disabled.

@Brendon_Hatcher was looking into this issue

I’m testing now on my copy of Ruby.
Will report back asap.

The access control system either allows you to create a material or not.
To test:

Go to the 3-bar menu button to the left of the trotec logo
Choose Materials
Go to the 3-dot button to the hight of Materials list
Do you see Add new material?

Choose any existing material in the list
Is the Save as new button clickable?

If the answer is no, then a Ruby admin person will need to come to the Laser PC to edit your rights.
If the answer is yes, then you have edit rights.

However, I think there may still be a problem…

With an existing material selected, click Add effect to material.
This should pop up a list of available effects (e.g. Engrave detail).

If the popup doesn’t appear, let us know.

Thanks for the quick response!
Someone’s using the laser now, but as soon as they’re done I’ll go and test it out.
