PrusaSlicer shows G-code after slicing vase mode?
Hi all,
Apologies if this is a known issue, but it's new to me and I couldn't search up any wisdom on it.
I slice a design in vase mode. I've printed this design vase mode in the past. Now, with slicer 2.7.4, when I slice vase mode, it shows me the G-code with an orange box around one line. I don't recall seeing G-code pop up like this in the past. The orange box makes me think the software is trying to warn me about something, but I see no errors in the lower-right.
Any idea what's happening here?

Ive been getting the same... along with a bunch of blue lines, tried various models downloaded from Thangs, but most not good using 2.7.4 Mac

I tried printing in vase mode and had no issues. It's just a UI glitch, at least for my designs.

OK... good to know UI issue... Thanks for the reply!

The Orange Box is there to show you the corresponding tool position in g code, to the Tool marker position in the 3d view, and has been in Slicer for several versions.
You may also notice the display just above the slider at the bottom of the screen. The g code viewer can be hidden/un-hidden from view by pressing the C key on your keyboard after clicking in the 3d view window.
There is more information about this, but hopefully this will get you by.
Good luck

After slicing PrusaSlicer switches view to the ''Preview" (bottom left corner, first icon on the right).
On the edges of the view there are two slide bars:
- vertical on the right to show specific layer
- horizontal on the bottom to show how print tool moves when processing generated gcode.
When the horizontal bar is not at the max right position, then new view pops up on the left - showing gcode fragment and highlights given tool position with the orange frame you see.
When moving the horizontal bar (or using arrow keys) you can very precisely see how the printer be executing the moves, then with vertical bar you can see how it goes to another layer.
Great for debugging.
