Machine coordinate by a VB fonction

[Freddy Bastard]

Do we have a way to switch from Machine coordinate to Program Coordinate with a VB fonction?

[Chaoticone]

Yup,

Code "G53"

Ok thank's

Here's another question... In a VB script, how can we know if the machine coords button is active? Some kind of protection.

ie: if machine coords is active, stop the routine and show a alarm.

Thank's

(;-)  THere are 3-4 ways to switch to MACHINE coord depending on exactly what you need. There is also an LED that indicates when Mach is in machine coord mode.

They are listed in the cutomizing mach2 manual(;-)

I don't really want to switch to machine coordinates. I want a warning if I try to run a VB script (ie: z probing) and machine coordinates is active.

Dim Test as Boolean

Code "G80G90G50"

Thank's, here's my solution for my problem. I added this portion of code to all my probing macros...

Test = GetOEMLed(16)
If Test then
    Message "***DONT PROBE IN MACHINE COORDS"
    Exit Sub
Else

End if

oups sorry...
