Select the ProE default options without clicking

Most ProE users may know this. This one is for those who missed out.

In ProE, the Middle (Scroll) Mouse Button acts like a Default selection.

In most commands of ProE, you will find one option in Bold. The straight forward option is to go there and click it. But pressing the middle button will select the default option automatically. You do not have to move the mouse at all. This also applicable in many Dashboard Commands and other like File-Open.

Save your precious time ! If you have not used it, get used to it now on.

Footnote:
You can configure ProE to have your default option changed as well.. Thats another post coming later..

The best thing was OctoPi, a platform for controlling the 3D printer and the many plugin options that are developed by the community. Most of them are like open source. Today we will discuss specifically about an adaptation to one such plugin, OctoLapse. OctoLapse is the plugin for taking timelapse photos, with many options for further customisations. One of the best timelapse method is taking photo after each layer is complete, by moving the head out of the way. You can use standard Pi Camera or a DSLR, which is great to get good resolution videos. One small flash back before we dive into the topic. I keep the
