Title: Bad VB code on a button
Post by: M250cnc on February 16, 2010, 06:12:10 PM

Tool_Num = GetDRO (24)= PWM Base DRO


If Tool_Num <>0 then
Z_Shift = GetOEMDRO (1002)= next to set tool offset
Z_Offset = GetOEMDRO ( 49 )= Part Z Offset DRO
Axis_Pos = GetOEMDRO(85)= Z Machine Coord DRO
Tool_Offset = Axis_Pos - Z_Offset  -Z_Shift
Call setOEMDRO(42, Tool_Offset)= Tool Z Offset DRO
End if

This is what is on the SET TOOL OFFSET BUTTON on page 5 of the standard screen for mill

It's in the Gage Block Height section

I am trying to understand it and i have looked up the dro codes in the XLS file Hood posted

The OEMdro for number 24 is clearly wrong  for in the context its being used for

Can anyone shed any light please.

Phil,
 Do you mean 42 ... instead of 24 ?

Thanks

Definitely 24 it was late last night and i have just noticed the syntax seems to be wrong as well

Tool_Num = GetDRO (24)= PWM Base DRO

This is the first line of code on the button should it not be GetOEMDRO

The number 24 = PWM Base DRO

GetDRO (24) is the same as GetOemDRO(824)
Some DRO's and Buttons etc are what is called Standard DROs/Buttons and can be written either way, think of the Ref All button, it calls DoButton(23) but could also be written DoOemButton(1023)

Thanks Hood

I knew about adding 1000 but not 800 to the numbers
