How to query current units (inch/mm) in MACH4
« on: March 01, 2015, 08:05:12 AM »
Searched and cannot find how to query the current units being used in MACH4.

Cannot find a LuaCall for this. How is it done?

Hi,

MACHINE_DEFAULT_UNITS = mc.mcCntlGetUnitsDefault(inst)
MACHINE_CURRENT_UNITS = mc.mcCntlGetUnitsCurrent(inst)

Thanks!

This call is not listed in LuaCalls.txt that was distributed with MACH4

Is there another more current list available?

I always work off of the MachAPI.h... It's formatted for C# but always up to date.

That header file is not with the MACH4 distribution. Is it available to users/developers?
