Material Test not saving all settings

When saving a material test as a user preset when you load that same preset up later shouldn’t it be also saving th Y Center and X Center settings?

When I save a preset with specific Y and X centers its not saving the values.
Its also not saving the title either.

I’ve never had any luck with it saving coordinates either. This is one of the few situations where User Origin is recommended by me. Pick an origin point and place your material, it’s easier than changing the coordinates in the test every time.

I have no issue saving a filename. The current version has some built in presets that show above any user presets. Are you scrolling down the list?

Its not an issue with saving a file name, it’s the Title field that is not being saved.
My preset is saving fine just not the X and Y center values.

It has never saved the coordinates that I’m aware of. It defaults to machine center if using Absolute Coordinates.

I’m not sure why the title box is even there, when I click to save, a separate dialogue box pops up for the preset name. It might be a holdover from a previous version.

I just learned what the title field is for. It’s not to name the file, it prints on the test itself. I could see where saving that info would be handy.

I know what its for, but logic would imply that saving user presets would include all inputs on the dialog.

I would be annoyed if it did save the x and y positons. I typically move around a sheet of material trying some preset tests.

I guess, like many things, it depends on your workflow. Sometimes you need to adjust your workflow for the way your tools work.
