Newfangled Solutions Mach3 Wizards / Re: How do I add fonts to write wizzard

« on: July 06, 2006, 08:24:29 AM »

There is no good way to add fonts to the Write wizard Every letter in the Write wizard is scalable gcode in an Mcode... So if you wanted to add a font you would have to make every letter into Gcode (at X0 Y0) so as you can see this is no small job...

VB and the development of wizards / Re: The basics of making a switch run a script?

« on: July 05, 2006, 09:23:27 PM »

Sorry i missed the End sub... It is hard to go from C++ to VB   I know this is not as simple as you would like but this gives you the most power...

Sub Main()

if (GetLED(4)) Then'This is where the Macro is told not to run if there is a job running
MsgBox("Could Not load there is a Job running")
Exit Sub
End if

'TODO add Macro code here
End Sub
Main

There is no way to get the text form a label... and there is no way to browse for a file... I spent two nights trying to get that to work about a year ago

Sorry Brian

Afer talking to Art we think it is best that you put code in your macro to see IF the macro should be run. It is very easy to add code that looks at the state of an LED and figure out if the macro should run. so lets say that your macro loads a Gcode file and runs it SO at the start of tha mcaro you should look and see if there is a job running. Here is an example:

Sub Main()

if (GetLED(4)) Then'This is where the Macro is told not to run if there is a job running
MsgBox("Could Not load there is a Job running")
Exit Sub
End if

'TODO add Macro code here

Main

This is more work but gives you more power in the end...
