Same answer, looks like its working using String component instead of Panel, weird.

Systemig,

Thanks for taking a look.

How did you get it to work with Strings?

I tried using strings to input the data, but I got the same problem as before...

So I used strings leading into the Cluster Arrows prior to remaking the Cluster and that didn't seem to make a difference.

Are clusters just buggy and that is the issue? I can live without them if that is the case... I just keep thinking I am missing something.

Thanks again for the help.

I replaced all the Panels in the definition with String params and I still have the same issue?

Here is a screenshot of what I did.  Is this what you tried- successfully?

Thanks,
Andy

Yeah it seems to work, did you select any comment or panel to create the cluster ?

Remade it using your definition (with string panels), the problem is perhaps selecting a comment, or perhaps a problem with groups ?

Does the attached user object work ?

 

Edit: just tried again just selecting the group in your last attachment, and it works, weird.

Systemig,

Thanks for the response.  I tested the Cluster you sent over and it works as it should!  Thanks.

I am still stumped about why I can't get it to work on my end. Even after taking away groups and comments I seem to have the same problem.

Well, thanks for helping troubleshoot things for me. i appreciate it.

Maybe things will clear up for me if i Reinstall GH... or wait till the next update.

I can live without clusters for now.

Pieter,

Thanks for the suggestion.

Much cleaner than my original...It is probably smart to have it separate from the GCode Header too... I can simply add it into the Header.

I tried to make it even fancier with a counter that a Boolean would trigger...

I can't remember who made the counter originally, but I appreciate it!

Still having cluster issues.  It may be a bug with my particular configuration.

The cluster you made worked great... as well as older clusters of my own.

is anybody out there having troubles with clusters or am I just going crazy?

Pieter thanks again. I can see the power of using the fX components with strings!
