One little thing, is there a way to get the button text on two lines in screen4??

The "Lines" box is greyed out.

Is that from MachScreen?

I can't double-click anything in my version, clicking just brings up a little box with the image name, button name etc in it.

No double-click option.

I have version 1.60

Hmm, ok thanks.

I can't see how that's done in Machscreen, I must admit that that program is a difficult piece of work, for me at least.

I see no VB button feature at all, just "Button".

If GetOemLED(807) and GetOemLED(808) Then
MsgBox"Machine Not Homed, Home Axes And Try Again"
Else
Code "G53 G0 Y600"
End If
 

Thats all, I had to cut/paste into a txt doc then transfer via usb stick, could have typed it but thought it safer to cut/paste

I spaced the G-code out as my original code was spaced and that worked fine.

Hmm likely my fault, I removed the 809 part as I dont zero Z. and also reworded the msg text but kept the same formatting.

I get an error "Null missing after newline, Block......" message when pressing the button

Any ideas?

Had another look and the z axis limits screen is set at +/- 5000 so that's not being used, when I started using the probing option for each pierce, the Z zero was removed from the Home-All button code so now that button only homes & zeroes X and Y, Z just remains at it's last parked position which is set in sheetcam as 20mm above the last known probe-zero point.

If i press GotoZero though I still get that annoying warning re safe-z being turned off and ignoring it, can that be stooped?

That works perfectly.

Is there a code snippet I can precede that code with to disable the move if the table has not been homed yet???

Thanks Hood,

I'm not convinced having it zero is important at all, the only thing that's annoying me is that the machine coordinate for z zero is meaningless at present, being some 5mm below the table surface.

I will check what setting I have for homing on z and see what can be done.

For plasma the machine DRO means very little, it always zeroes the working DRO on every pierce and that DRO is all tha matters I think.

Will have another play when I get a chance.
