Title: DRO Skin variations
Post by: Tarak on September 09, 2011, 07:14:20 PM

Hi, is it possible to use the macropump to change the skin on certain DRO's depending on which work coordinate system is being used?
So in theory if G54 is in use the DRO would be GREEN, but if G55 is in use it might be YELLOW.
It's a bit out there, I know that.

Interesting idea Darc.
Not sure about the skins, but the font color can be changed .. as in the System Rotated state (attached).
Just to show that it can be done. However, it might be internal and we might not have access to it.
And, there are 254 available offsets. That would be a lot of different colors.
Probably be ok though if you only used a couple.

Hi Overloaded, Thanks for that, I didn't think about the writing, I was hoping to just use the skins for G54 thru to G59.

I'm not aware of any way to do either of these. If you find a way be sure to let us know!


Thanks,
Chris
