Using visual studio code on multiple devices

On last Friday I was using Visual Studio Code to edit my NC files, at work.
On the weekend I ran Fusion 360 on my personal computer at home.
This morning at work, I posted code, and it opened in WordPad, with a totally different look than the Visual Studio Code I was running on Friday and on the weekend.

How can I set-up Fusion 360 so it always uses Visual Studio Code regardless of which machine I am on when I post it?

 

Thanks,

Dan

Hi John,  Are you saying to search for the location of Code.exe, then copy-as-path, and paste it in the "external editor" field of my preferences?
Do I have to do that on each machine?  Or, does having the "Use Cloud Libraries" box checked cause it to automatically upload to the Cloud?

 

Thanks,

Dan

That is just were you would browse for any external editor, in this case VS code. I am not sure how it is handled on 2 different computers. I imagine that you have to set it for each computer. The cloud library just happened to be checked and has nothing to do with the suggestion. You can only store certain items in the cloud such as posts and *tool library files.
