VB and the development of wizards / Re: How to set the feedrate with a button

« on: March 06, 2013, 07:16:36 AM »

new to this so don't try without drycutting. but would it be something like this;

'Macro to toggle feedrate
If GetOEMDRO(Don’t know #) = 0 Then
SetOEMDRO(?, (GetOEMDRO(?)*.01))
Else
SetOEMDRO(?,(GetOEMDRO(?)*100))
End If
End

in bobcad you can open a dxf file then add the cut you need to the line profiles.
then right click on Milling Tools(or turning) and click post and save. or just post.
it makes the ngc file and post it in the post manager.

in the mach3 directory in C:\Mach3\macros\MyMill\M1001.m1s
from what i read, this is correct.

thanks Ya-Nvr-No, Brett and Dan13.
Ya-Nvr-No   don't know where the sleep setting is.
i tried it but no idea if working
Brett, i used what you had and same results. works in
VB but not in MDI.
Can13. i have it in the gcode but it does nothing. i should be able to
use mcodes in the MDI, shouldn't i ?
Thanks
