Hmm, getting in a mess now (got backup copy though)

I have added the codes dooembutton(1007) zero all
and dooembutton(160) regen toolppath

but now it zeros the dro's then regens the path but then sends the dro's back to somewhere else leaving them non-zero?

It puts the DRO values back to exactly where they were before pressing the button.

i.e. its not storing them.

You really want a pause between calls
Sleep 500
would give you 1/2 second delay between calls.

BTW are you doing it via code in the screen designer?
If so are you able to do multiple lines? If not then likely that is your issue, doing it in a VB button would be best.

I will add the sleep command

Once I added the script in machscreen, it saved a custom macro, I can now edit that macro with notepad

Machscreen is a very "odd" program

That fixed it, it seems that although it creates a macro file it does not use it but instead embeds the code?

Anyway its working nicely now

Thanks all

You're right, I've tested it, and it seems that it behaves weird. Anyhow, here's the script that works for me:
SetOEMDRO(800,0)
SetOEMDRO(801,0)
SetOEMDRO(802,0)
It will automaticaly regenerate toolpath.
I think that when DROs are defined as "standard" (codes 0,1,2) path will not be regenerated by default.
(jog follow must be turned on, i think)

That's good, at least two ways of doing it then
