Fixture Save
« on: May 26, 2012, 08:15:20 AM »
Hello World,
When exiting the program, if the work offsets have been changed since the last shut down, we are queried, "Save Fixture?".  I would like to add a button that does this any time I want.  Is this a separate function (that I have been unable to find) or is it wired to the Windows Cancel button right in the program.  I assume it is much like function 122 but with an automatic "Yes, save all".  How can I emulate this?
Thanks,

This is enabled with a checkbox in General Config, "Optional Offset Save".
I think that OEM button 122 is as close as you can get.

Thanks Gerry,
Do you know what actually drives the message box when shutting down the program?  It isn't a separate screen is it?  And as a secondary question being's you seem to be up on the general configs, what controls the delay at the start of a program, before movement, before spindle activation, begins.
Thanks again,

I believe the optional offset save is a built in function that can't be accessed.

Not sure about the delay you refer to. In Ports and Pins, Spindle Tab, there's a delay that waits for the spindle to get up to speed before movement, but there shouldn't be any other delays. Perhaps it's something in your g-code?
