    I create my toolpaths but I am unable to connect with Control to export. I have the most up to date control but doesn't give me the option.

    Follow the onscreen instructions where the old button used to be.. Video is a couple years old

    There are no instructions where the old button used to be. I put a screenshot on my original post. All it says is save the Gcode to the computer and open it in control. Also, I am unsure what video you are referring to.

    Correct. As you would with any CAM. Create GCODE > Save it
    Then go to CONTROL and open it.

    I think about the only place the Transfer button / CONTROL integration legacy still lives on is the the old Hello World video? Or where else are you expecting to see the Transfer button from? (Its been removed for a long time in favour of the more standard Save/Open workflow)

    docs:software:overview [OpenBuilds Documentation]
    Nice seperate silos (CAD > CAM > CONTROL) with flexible options in each. Save and then go and open is pretty standard way to use a computer and access files between different applications

    Ok. I didn't realize that it was taken out on purpose. I really miss it but makes sense.
