I keep running into this issue. When creating something in the GUI editor the default setting is GUI_GRID. When calling the dialog it is off screen because nothing shows. When I switch over to Safezone during creation it does show correctly. However when re-importing dialogs into the GUI editor it defaults to GUI_GRID which means I have to change every rsc item to safezone if I want to export after adjusting it.

Any tips on fixing this? What is the quickest workflow to quickly load existing dialogs back into the GUI editor?

You have to define the GUI_ variables at the top. I'm not at my computer to give the exact value but start with 0 and move from there

However when re-importing dialogs into the GUI editor it defaults to GUI_GRID

Is this reproduce-able? I haven't had this problem. Although, I export all of my dialogs in GUI editor format as well as class format, for easy importing and editing.

Can you detail how you do it? I dont know what the difference between GUI format or class format means

Come back later tonight... I'll post the defines I use when I get off work.

Here is what I have to my GUI_GRID_x defines. Just put them with your other basic definitions.

#define GUI_GRID_X		(0)
#define GUI_GRID_Y		(0)
#define GUI_GRID_W		(0.025)
#define GUI_GRID_H		(0.04)
#define GUI_GRID_WAbs	(1)
#define GUI_GRID_HAbs  	(1)

Thanks, that is very useful. Is there a difference between using GUI_GRID or safezones?
