Post by: ftec on May 12, 2011, 09:18:24 AM

Is it possible and how to run a macro from file when Mach loads?

Thanks,

Not sure, but you can add it to the initialization string and run it the first time you press reset.

HI,
If you are using a recent mach release, there is a script that is loaded (if it is present) whenever mach loads a screen set.

For more info get the programmer's ref manual from here
http://machsupport.com/docs/Mach3_V3.x_Macro_Prog_Ref.pdf

and look up ScreenSetLoad.
