I got home and I checked the files. The file that is saved with a .X2G extension is the gcode file and the .X2D is the design file. The .X2G is the file you can edit in NotePad and should save as .X2G format.
Is the .x2d file type in the XW_GCODE folder? If it is not there then that is the designer file. There should be two files that are saved by the designer. One is a designer file and the other is the g-code file that can be edited in NotePad. Hopefully this helps.

Hi Alexander,
Im new to X-Winder. I have been trying to edit my G-code through a notepad app. However im running into a problem of it not saving. What im doing is pressing the build option in the software then opening the g-code through that window. After making my changes I would just press control S and save then resume the build. Im assuming this is the incorrect method since this does not alter the G-code in anyway. Opening the G-code on the main window with all of the inital setting also gives me an unaltered G-code, im assuming that button generates a default G-code file based on the designer files. Im pretty confused on how I should approach this. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
