This Design Space for Desktop release (v9.20) includes backend improvements and the following features and fixes.
Connection Initiative - Machine Picker
Introducing the Machine Picker! Click the machine icon in the header to view your connected machine or set up a new machine. With this feature you can connect to a machine before you make. Switch machines, access settings and calibrations, or quickly view what machine is actively connected. Did you forget to change your machine before clicking "Make"? Surprise! You can now change machines at mat Prepare without having to return to the Canvas!
Quickly see which machine is connected by hovering over the picker or click on it to view your machines.
Machine picker in Settings > Machines
Machine picker on Prepare screen
Note: To help ensure everything goes smoothly, this feature will roll out slowly to groups of users in phases rather than all at once. You may not see it right away after updating to v9.20.
