New i Mach3 macro. Startup help.

[Jens H]

I just startet to make macro, and to quickly get on, I have some questions. 

I have make this macro:

code ("G00 X0 Y0")

very simple. But want a function more. Something like:

'move to Z135 in machinecoordinate'
whilemoving ()
wend
code ("G00 X0 Y0")

I don't know hove to adress the move to the machine coordinate system.

[fer_mayrl]

G53 will move the machine in absolute machine coordinates

Then you can go back to work coordinates with G90

so you would write a macro with something like this:

CODE ("G53")
CODE ("G00 z135")
CODE ("G90")
CODE ("G00 x0 y0")

That should take care of it.

Thanks.

It was this I was looking for.

Now my code is:

code ("G53 Z135")
while IsMoving ()
wend
code("G90 G00 X0 Y0)

an i have assigned it to "Goto Zero" button, so when I press it, the mill go op to the higest pos, and then to Zero.
