Are you having trouble loading your projects with custom EZBits since the 6-5(6?)-13 update?

Well I did so I figured I'd show you all how to save your projects from complete disaster.

Step 1. Make a copy of your project.

Step 2. Open the project in Notepad (or whatever)

Step 3. Remove EZ Bits from the project. Here is what one looks like. The key is to make sure you have your matches

 [EZRobotBit] code here [/EZRobotBit] 

NOTICE I had to change all of the tags from greater/less than to brackets so it would let me post this.

There are two in this example. Can you find them?

As you can see the sizes vary depending on what's in them so be sure to check your tags. You don't want to delete anything you are trying to save.

Sure, you'll have to re-make re-import your stls and make new bits but, at least all of your other hard work won't go down the tubes. Besides I'm having fun importing stls. (@DJ Thanks for the servo btw!)

I hope this helps someone out.
