Title: x,y crosshair macro
Post by: sparkyengle on May 20, 2010, 10:41:43 AM

Hello. I was wondering if someone had a macro or something for using a laser crosshair setup for my x,y axis.I found a video of exactly what I want to do, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WOyLobgnPRo  .I am using an auto z macro currently and love it. If anyone has the macro like in the video, and knowledge of how to set it up, I would love to hear it. Thank you.

Steve,
  I never set one up, just directed Sparky to the post for more information on the topic.
I have seen them on eBay though.
You might ask Greg...or Budman, I think he has one also.
