Has anyone figured out a way to Suspend a macro so you can do a Jog move in mach then press a KEY to return to the macro ??
I think it is time to ask for a
Sus WhileDo()
Susend
How about it Mathew???

I won't ask why....
how about...
setVar(1000,0)
while getVar(1000)=0
sleep (100)
wend
and then in a button
setVar(1000,1)

OK that is a common hold state(;-) will it allow one to do other things such as JOG while it is active?
Trying to only use 1 button(;-). There are ONLY so many buttons on the hand pendant and 20 buttons on a useable pendant does not work(;-) Might as well have the keyboard in my hand. LOLOLOL
Just a thought(;-)TP

I have used that hold state inside of macros but never from an outside prespective.
YEP testing shows it certainly will allow outside movement while in the hold state (;-)
SO as long as I don't have any other macros running concurrently that use that approach then 1 button it is (;-)
Now the plasma G68 part rotation is a 1 button option.
Thanks Ian, I learn something new almost every day, (;-)

Would still be nice to have the Sus WhileDo() function With the hotkey declared inside the () as in Sus WhileDo(^F4)
Just a thought(;-) TP
