Feature Requests / named variables

« on: February 26, 2013, 06:40:43 AM »

EMC2 can work with named variables
e.g.:

#<_xoffset> = -0.28000
instead of
#100 = -0.28000

This was already mentioned here:
http://www.machsupport.com/forum/index.php/topic,18453.msg127162.html#msg127162
but doesn't seem to have a topic in feature-requests yet.

This for example completely prevents me from using the etch_z_adjust script for prototype PCB milling.
(adjusts the PCB2Gcode output to run a 10x10mm grid of Z-probes to determine the actual z location of a not perfectly even PCB suface)

Feature Requests / Clipboard support

I can enter a single line of g-code by hand.
But I can neither copy from nor paste to that field.
It would be much easier and much less error-prone to past some coordinates I already have in my clipboard into that text-field.
(Or at least into the g-code list.)
