I thought I should write because the way your doing it now by going back and forth is too hard. The trick is the right mouse button. Now that I know the commands I also edit the .FIL files directly, but only for logic customizing never for changing the operator screens.

I find that creating my own screens are enjoyable. I even made some up for fun. My screens are for CNC and the product your using is for general factory automation which I hear is the same but with out the G code and the other CNC functions.

I think camsofts ability to create your own operator interfaces are the greatest thing ever. They are way ahead of the pack. I taught my self by reading the book and starting with default templates on their CD. My advice is that you should study whats there now, use the right mouse button to drag the bitmaps around the screen until they are in position rather than edit pixel values in an editor one at a time. This will write and update the files for you automatically. If you also just hold down the right mouse button with out clicking on an object and move it around it will show you the pixel values in a yellow balloon box just incase you wanted to write them down. You'll find a huge library of bitmapped control objects in the BMPWAV folder that are far more than bitmaps they are fully working buttons, light bulbs, knobs, needle gauges, slider bars, readout, question boxes and so on.

The message you get from LISTSETUP during startup is probably because the encoders are still sensing movements even though you turned the motor off so it can't move the encoders are still sending pulses.
