Sus WhileDO()

Has anyone figured out a way to Suspend a macro so you can do a Jog move in mach then press a KEY to return to the macro ??

I think it is time to ask for a

Sus WhileDo()
Susend

How about it Mathew???

I won't ask why....

how about...

setVar(1000,0)
while getVar(1000)=0
  sleep (100)
wend

and then in a button

setVar(1000,1)

OK that is a common hold state(;-) will it allow one to do other things such as JOG while it is active?

Trying to only use 1 button(;-). There are ONLY so many buttons on the hand pendant and 20 buttons on a useable pendant does not work(;-) Might as well have the keyboard in my hand. LOLOLOL

Just a thought(;-)TP

That it will sir...

It only uses one button...

You just can't please all of the people all of the time...

I have used that hold state inside of macros but never from an outside prespective.

YEP testing shows it certainly will allow outside movement while in the hold state (;-)

SO as long as I don't have any other macros running concurrently that use that approach then 1 button it is (;-)

Now the plasma G68 part rotation is a 1 button option.

Thanks Ian, I learn something new almost every day, (;-)

Would still be nice to have the Sus WhileDo() function With the hotkey declared inside the () as in Sus WhileDo(^F4)

Just a thought(;-) TP
