Title: How to use the list object on screen
Post by: Westy619 on April 23, 2022, 06:58:47 AM

Hi guys, new user here with next to no Lua coding experience.

My machines spoilboard has a bench dog grid similar to an mft table top. This means that assuming my stock is square, I can position it against the dogs and the corner will be in a specific x and y point depending in where on the grid the stock is.

I've slready setup an auto z button for myself but I would also like to be able to go into a drop down menu and choose from a list of these known locationd on the spoilboard. When a selection is made, the x and y zero points should update.

Any advice on how I could achieve this?

Thanks

If you want to do some Lua just make a button on your screen not a drop down.
Here is something to help you start in the Lua.
