Have you got the macro saved in the correct profile?

If you are using the standard mach3mill profile it needs to be stored in C:\Mach3\macros\Mach3Mill as M1001.m1s

Sorry Larry, my fault, the macro code should read :-

Setvar(3, getuserdro(1001))

You had the M code in the right place.

I must have been having a bad day.

I am sure you could twist my arm to make me attend the event, the last one was very good.

Have a look at the links page and follow the cad/cam links, there are many free programs that will produce DXF files.

Hi Larry,

yes it can be done:-

1.  on your screen you will need a user DRO  numbered 1001

2. you write a macro with an unused number e.g. M1001.m1s with the following code in it, this needs to be saved in your current profile macro folder.

Setvar(3, getdro(1001))

3. in your g-code program call M1001 to read the value of the dro into #3

Thats all there is to it.. Send only large bags cash

You could add your fix code to the M3.m1s macro and then every time you call M3 in your program it will correct the spindle speed, I believe the problem has been sorted in Version 4.

Do you have any custom macros using # variables, if you do you may be overwriting some of the system variables and causing the override problem.
