Script question ?
« on: May 01, 2014, 05:10:44 PM »
How can I setup a script to move to a X, Y location which I would specify in two DRO's ?

I'm not sure how to do something like this,

Code "G53z0"
  While IsMoving()
  Wend
Code "G53x0y0"

Where only x and y for the last line would be from two DRO's

Like this,

Code "G53x(dro_xvar)y(dro_yvar)  something like this, I tried it but gives me errors.


Thanks,
    John

Existing DRO's, or new ones?

You need to do something like:


xval = getoemdro(x)
yval = getoemdro(x)
Code "G53 X" & xval & " Y" & yval



the (x) in the GetOEMDRO(x) is the DRO #.
