VB and the development of wizards / Re: Macro VB Script for Lathe Toolchanger

« on: April 19, 2008, 10:52:34 AM »

hi,

thanks for all these replies, they have been a great help to get started. but i have 3 questions about the VBcode:

1. how can i become the "GetOEMDRO (1200)". I cannot find this on my screens in MACH3 turning. is it possible to become this dro on a screen.
2. the Code "G4 P1.0" does not work at all. the line is executed but it does not delay? is it a configuration fault somewhere in mach?
2. my macro only runs if i start i manually, i thought it would run continuously.

thanks

LazyTurn / Re: LazyTurn

hi art,

thank you for your reply. i think i misunderstand the difference between toolpaths and profiles. what i mean (and that is what i really miss) is: importing a dxf file, generating toolpahts so that every time the chisel go's along the material 0.5 mm (for example) of material is taken away.

thanks

LazyTurn / Re: LazyTurn

hi art,

thank you for working on lazyturn. i am a newbee with mach3 turn, and i was quite disappointed about lazycam for turning; actually i cannot use it for generating profiles (pro version).

am i right that if you implement "tools" i should be able to generate profiles?

thanks
