Title: ATC button to access Mach3 Tool Information.
Post by: ballistic42 on January 24, 2016, 03:35:41 PM

I have 12 DRO's for Tool # and 12 DRO's for Tool Length Offset.  I have a Button on the ATC Screen called Get Verify Tool / Length Offset that I want to push to Load the first 12 Tools in the Mach3 Tool Table into the DRO's.  Anybody know how to do this or can someone point me to a post where it has been talked about?

Thanks,

Jeff

hIYA Jeff, Do you have the Mach3 programmers reference manual ???  IF not it would be a BIG help to you (;-).

By the way I have not dumped on you , just waiting to see what your next move would be (;-)

I think I am going to find the VB for dummies manual and see where I get with that.  I am having trouble seening how these arrays work with Varibles and the all around language.  I do have the VB reference manual but the examples are not very good.  I will figure it out.

I have that, save your $$$ it will not mean much working with Mach3's " CB "  MACRO LANGUAGE.
