General Mach Discussion / Re: How can I use subprograms in the subroutines folder?
« on: May 18, 2009, 04:53:14 PM »
No, the methods given in the manual ,10.8.7, were not working. I got in touch with "Chip," who had posted and actually is located in
Gainesville, FL, USA, where I am. He said to place the subs at the end o the main program, in the same file, after the M30 and separated by a % on a line by itself. That does work, and is fine with me, but don't know why the manual does not refer to this.
I am quite familiar with the Haas VF controls (work with one every day), and they do this, too, as one way of using subs. They refer to
it as a "local" subprogram and call it from the main program with M97. Very convenient, but wouldn't know Mach 3 does this without the forum contacts. Now, I couold really use something like a GOTO command as used in Fanuc controls. Thanks.
