FAQs / Re: Help with table coordinates.

« on: December 30, 2018, 12:22:45 PM »

i am sorry to turn the "i kwow soemthing better mode" on  

but depending on your Picture "what is front",
your X and Y is swapped.

the same old rule:

Y+
 ´`
 |
 |---->X+
   ´`
    |
Point of view

and Y+ upwards.

have a look (next try):

Forum suggestions and report forum problems. / Re: IS ANYBODY OF ARTSOFT WILLING TO/WORKING ON THIS FORUM SEARCH PROBLEM

Requests have been made to have the search function fixed and Artsoft knows about the problem.
It IS concerning that they don't even give a response.

Dear Brian,

When Artsoft does not reply on a major issue, it makes users  feel like the business is starting to forget who the customer is,
we would appreciate it, if you could just spend a minute or two with a response.

that is not "normal",

because all drawings have this orientation


 Y+
 |
 |-----X+

so you allways have to "rotate" in your head.

if the left side off your Picture is the front side of your machine,
then y is backward, and z as well.

x to the right is positive

General Mach Discussion / Re: Proper Entry and Exit sequence for VB macro so that one can call another

« on: December 25, 2018, 05:18:23 AM »

to call a macro within a macro is a nogo in Mach3, i think it is written somewhere in the documantation.

a good alternative is to us the #expand instruction of cypress.

for example create a file mylibary.m1s in your macro Folder, put some code (Sub's or function's) in:

Code: [Select]

Public Sub DoThis()
MsgBox "Sub DoThis was called"
End Sub

Public Sub DoThat(ByVal X as Long,ByVal Y as Long)
MsgBox "Sub DoThat was called with parameter X: " + CStr(X) +" parameter Y. " + CStr(Y)
End Sub
 
Public Function DoThiswithreturn (ByVal X As Integer) As Boolean
If X > 100 Then
DoThiswithreturn = true
Else
DoThiswithreturn = false
End If
End Function  

put at the end of your macro witch whants to use this routines this:

#Expand <\..\..\macros\Mach3Mill\mylibary>


sample for macro would be:

Code: [Select]

Sub Main
Dim RetValue As Boolean

DoThis

DoThat 1,2

RetValue = DoThiswithreturn(50)
MsgBox RetValue

RetValue = DoThiswithreturn(150)
MsgBox RetValue
End Sub


#Expand <\..\..\macros\Mach3Mill\mylibary>  


you can use this exand in all macros witch whant to use the same routines.
