Can anyone tell me why I am losing controls from my project when I save it. I have created the same project 3 times now and each time I save it to both my hard drive as well as to the Cloud, some of the controls seem to vanish.
I created the project for the third time yesterday and it had mp3 Trigger and 6 of the servo contols and I saved it to both my hard drive using the save as and gave it a new name and saved it to the cloud as well.
When I opened it this morning, the only thing in the project was the mp3 trigger and one of the servo controls.
Can someone tell me whats happening to the rest of the controls.

Can you post your project file or make it public on the cloud? It'll make more sense if I/we can see it.
Rich: I will have to recreate it again, as the only two of the controls left are the MP3 Trigger and one of the servo controls. Once I get it rfecreated I will save it to the cloud.

After you modify a project, you still have to save it.
Remember that when a project is altered after it has been saved, it needs to be saved again. Watch for any errors or messages after the saving process - just in case it didn't save. It would be impossible for controls to not reload after saving. Good luck!
PS, remember to save locally also. Always a good idea to have a backup
Rich: I just saved the File to the cloud. It is called "Mind Munchie Rev4" for the Children's Museum of Houston.
It should have the MP3 Trigger, Robo Claw H-Bridge Movement control, Modified servo Controls for Right Arm, Left Arm,arms center, Open/close Eyes, and Move Antenna.
Thats what should be in the file that I saved.
I still need to add the wrist controls but that requires a second H-Bridge which is the 4-Wire H-Bridge listed in the controls, plus I need to add the viceo camera controls.

In fact, after you save it but before you close ARC, open up explorer and find the save (my documents, ARC) Right click on the save and choose properties. And make sure the modified date and time match when you last saved.
If they don't it hasn't saved it.
DJ: I have saved it both to my local Hard drive as well as to the cloud several times and when I closed down ARC is asks if I want to save the file and I say yes, and still all of the controls are not in the file when I reopen it.

Rich: I did as you suggested and saved it again using the save as and then went to check the file. It saved it, but it is only 7KB in size. It should be larger than that I would think.

Rich: I opened a new Windows screen and started a second ARC and opend the saved file and only three of the controls show up. Robo Claw, Center Arms and Right arm. The rest have vanished.
