I did exactly that, the button turns on the blower, but still doesn't look right.

Not sure then, it looks fine on mine. Try this one, I tried ungrouping once more after object to path to break it down even further, and it also works. I've found that sometimes groups will or won't work.

So it looks right now. I assumed it was saving it in the right file, since it did save it there initially. Buy it was saving in the original file that I copied the button from. Just have to get the LED on it working now.

I still can't get macros to run when changing parameters 292-295. I changed parameter 292 to 7211 which should run mfunc72.mac. i also can't attach my report.zip file.

Upload your Report.zip by opening Full Editor & Preview instead of directly typing your reply; then click the "Attachments" Tab below the text box; and finally click the Add Files button. Then navigate to your Report.zip etc

In the report you posted, you have P292=6611, so your Aux13 key would run M66.

Do your Aux10, Aux11 and Aux12 functions -- which you have assigned to M56, M57 and M72 -- work as expected?

The m66 macro I created to test the function of the aux 13 key....NO it did not run the macro. Yes the Aux 10, Aux 11, and Aux 12 functions as expected.

With the parameters set like in the photo, macro 73 should run when pressing the VCP Aux 13 key(parameter 292 skin event 66). That combination does not work. Also when VCP Aux 15 (parameter 294 skin event 68) is pressed Macro 75 should run however macro 74 runs. It appears that VCP Aux buttons run the macro for one lower parameter number and VCP Aux 13 key doesn't run anything.
