When recording a simulation for Station Viewer does not work. You can see my video.

Case A) Record from the button Simulation-\> Record to viever  
It always creates a file dated 28/01/2013 and size 1006 KB empty of contents.  
Case B) Record from Share → Save Station to viewer  
Create a file containing the design of the station, but the simulation is not active.

Tested on different computers with 5.15.0 and 5.15.1

Finally a question: If it worked correctly Is there any difference between recording Record to Viewer and Save Station to viewer? What do you mean by “any recorded simulations”?

I’ve just tried it and it worked fine for me. Cool way to share simulations with customers.

You need to record to viewer
