You must first understand where are saved the setup parameters. To avoid notecards the parameters are saved in the floating text of the primitive which is affected by the setup. This floating text is set with alpha to 0 to not be apparent. When you do a new setup the script is looking for existing setup in the build, it's important to :

  1. know the index of the system and the new setup to create
  2. avoid to delete an existing setup

So if you want to do a new setup for a primitive you must first delete the floating text of this primitive. As it is not easy to do I've made 2 scripts :

  1. rub : to delete all existing setup (floating text) in a linkset
  2. rub one prim : to delete existing setup (floating text) in the primitive where you put this script

But there is a little disadvantage in deleting only 1 setup because systems and setups and indexed and a new system or setup will look at the max existing number, ignoring the holes. So in extreme situations you risk to reach the maximum (10 systems and 10 setups for each system), in this case the best way is to delete all setups.
