So I setup some objects in Cura 3.1 and saved the gcode. Later, I drag & drop the gcode file into another session of Cura 3.1. The objects display as desired in the Layer view. But then I go to switch to 'Solid View' and the the buildplate is empty.

Is there any refresh command that would force Cura to display the objects properly or is this a side effect of loading a gcode file?

    This is by design. Gcode files only contain the layerdata. There is no straightforward way to go back from layer data to polygonal models that are suitable for slicing again.

    In other words: when loading a gcode file into Cura you can only preview the layers, but you cannot make any changes

      • Release Notes: S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 (Latest)

        Dustin posted a topic in Firmware,

        S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 was released Nov. 20th on the "Latest" firmware branch.
        (Sorry, was out of office when this released)

        This update is for...
        All UltiMaker S series  
        New features
         
        Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
