GSD Converter v1.1 & Dm Restore & Backup v1.0

[BrianP]

As promised I have updated my converter so it will convert GSD files created by Robomaster v5 in to files that can be opened with Robomaster v4.4.

This should be of help to those new Robo lite users who want to share their newly created files.

GSD Converter v1.1



Usage

• Copy the .GSD you wish to convert to your desktop.
  
• Run the GSD Converter.
  
• Press the ‘Select GSD file…’ button and select the GSD to convert from the list.
• After a few seconds a new file will be created, ending in _converted, in the same folder as the file you selected, which in this example was on the desktop.
• If the conversion was completed successfully you should now be able to open the file with RoboMaster v4.40.

Please note: Whilst I have tested as many files as possible without any problems, this converter may not work with all files.

DM Backup & Restore v1.0

I have also written a small tool which might be of interest to the DesignMaster users here.

A lot of users have asked for the ability to be able to restore DesignMaster back to it's default settings. While we hope to get this feature added in the future, in the mean time I have created a tool which lets you not only do just that but also lets you backup and restore your own settings too.



Usage

The tool has three buttons which work as follows:

• Backup - makes a backup of the current DesignMaster settings.
• Restore – restores the settings from a previous backup.
• Restore to default settings – resets the DesignMaster settings back to default values.

Limitations

• DesignMaster must be installed in the default install folder (i.e. C:\Graphtec DesignMaster Web) for the backup tool to work.
  
• The tool does not backup toolbar settings. I didn’t add this because DesignMaster already has this feature (view menu > toolbars).
• This tool is written for use with DesignMaster v1.3 (aka build 14) and may not work with other versions.

So there you are, I hope you find these two useful.

Thanks Brian, just to be sure am I right in assuming this replaces the previous conversion program?

Thank you Brian. Do we need to uninstalled the previous converter or will it automatically overwrite the old one?

Hi Brian,does the new converter convert gsd files to be able to load onto a sd card as it is different format.

Yes thats correct. This version has the same functionality as the previous verison but can also convert GSD files from Robomaster 5.

The old version could actually convert some RM 5 files but not all, hence the small update.

Thank you Brian. Do we need to uninstalled the previous converter or will it automatically overwrite the old one?

I'd uninstall the old then install the new. It wouldn't do any harm if you didn't, it's just a little cleaner.

Hi Brian,does the new converter convert gsd files to be able to load onto a sd card as it is different format.

No it doesn't sorry. The only software that can create the new SD card format (.GSP) is Robomaster 5 using the save to SD Card function.
