I may be doing something wrong but I have "Lower Left" selected but it is always just using "Nearest". I'm using version 40 of skeinforge. I've done some searches but can't find any information on bugs in that part of the code or anyhing. Does anyone have any insight?

You probably should delete all previous configuration files and start from scratch. SF is known to have trouble with settings when upgrading.

WHAT? And have to reenter all the settings by Hand!

Is that really the solutions, delete and reenter everything? Is there some way to print it off?

I deleted the profiles and reentered the settings. It is still just running as if "nearest" was set.

Are you printing one part or are you using the multiply feagure to print multiple copies of the same part? Multiple always work in the "nearest" fashion.

I'm using mulitply to print multiple copies of the same part.

If multiply always works in the "nearest" fashion, that is what is happening. I thought it was supposed to work for the multiply option.

Thanks

Unfortunately not. So, if you want multiple copies with "lower left" sequence, you have to combine the multiple copies of the part into one stl file before opening it in Skeinforge. This is what I do. I think SF takes longer this way than with the multiple option. But I'm not sure.
