Print Setup Page

[mmais]

Is there a way after I get everything rearranged for 2019 that I can print my setup page?

You can print the screen shots.  I know that can require multiple screen shots, but it is what it is.  I also save screen shots of all the controller setup pages, and Pi config pages.  I have a file folder for all those screen shots by year.  I've also learned to take a lot of photos of my physical layout including closeups of some areas.  That practice has helped me out more times that I can count and has also let me answer questions from other folks.

Perhaps just print the underlying xml page? or load the xml into a browser?

Does the models export do this? Under tools from memory?

Export models give you a lot of info but it is about the models.  Mike is showing a network setup screen.  I've never found much value in the network setup screen, but if you export models and open that file in excel you can do all kinds of useful things.  I like to hide columns that have no meaning to me and remove lines that are for model groups to another tab.  Then I can sort things by model name, or by universe, or absolute start channel, etc  You name it.  I use that data to look for errors or overlaps as well.

Thanks for that. Wasn’t sure if it was a hidden extra. Does it need to be printed or just saved for future? Can always back up the file with a new file name if saved is ok.

Export models always creates a csv file.  I open that in excel and then do a save as to get it into an excel format.  When I export and save any of my files I always put the date in the file name ie. "models 2018-12-01"  I always export and save the models at the end of the season for my records.  I sometimes print stuff out, especially at setup time, but I backup all my show files to multiple devices.  Never ever have your files on one device or you will get burned and learn the hard way.  I even have two identical portable drives which I backup all my data to every day.  On Sundays I swap the devices and one is kept in my vehicle so if my house burns down I still have all my computer data - all data not just show data.

of course, if you use the package sequence tool - it will save/zip everything you need to get going (for the system and that ONE sequence).
