Pen doesn't go up in block

What’s problem you are encountering?

I have written a program which repeatedly draws a diagonal line, in every 20 by 20 box in a certain area. But in between the destinct lines, the pen does not go up, eventhough I think I have placed the “pen up” block correctly. That makes the whole pattern unrecognizable. I made some other pattern pieces (not just diagonal lines) as well but they don`t work either, for the same reason.

What have you tried that didn’t work?

I put “pen up” blocks in every place possible. Inside my drawing block after the “if” block which contains “pen up” blocks itself, outside all the blocks after my custom drawing block. I took the part of the program which I put in my custom block out of it and just added it straight to the program.

Thanks for any help in advance.

Post a project example, link, or screenshot:

The problem is that you’ve loaded the Embroidery library, which redefines, among other things, the GO TO block so that it draws as it moves. If you delete that definition (try right clicking on the block in the palette) you should get the primitive version back.

why not just shift click settings and select primitives palette?

I have deleted the Embroidery library. But unfortunately it still draws continually. Should I just program all of it again as a new project? that might be the fastest way? I`m not sure. But thank you for the help.

How do I do that? Is that the primitive palette of the “go to” block only?

@sathvikrias has the right idea: shift-click the gear menu (:gear:) and choose “primitives palette.” That should delete the unwanted modified version. You might, I’m not sure, have to replace all the GO TO blocks in your program (maybe there’s only one?) with the primitive, too.

Yes, I just had to delete all the modification in the block definition of the “go to” block only and that solved the problem completely. Thank you very much.

Why are there so many new users now?

I don’t know, usually it happens around august-october.

I am not a new user. I have been using snap since about 2022. Up until now Ihave just been able to either solve my problems alone or wth a friend. Or I just gave up on a project.

The forum says you joined 17 hours ago.

maybe that’s just when they first logged in to the forums?

Yes, I did just make an account. I mean, I have been using the software snap for years. So I wouldn`t call myself a new user. maybe there was a misunderstanding.

Maybe I’m just talking about other users
