Sorry, I didnt mean any offense, just needed to de-murkify my self:-)
That's very useful, is it mentioned in the docs and I missed it? -Lee
In regards to the question, "Can
I execute G-Code in a macro, yes, I believe the command is GCode
("G0X0") for example, but I will have to look this up...

Hi Todd,
I was wondering this also, at least can I call a function or
similar
also, I think its a subset of VB scripting and can call some
predefined( not user defined (?)) routines Art has setup. The
manual
covers some specific macros, buts its really murky if your
trying
to
do your own stuff.

I agree it's murky! Documenting macros seemed a bit like writing
the
user manual for a Swiss Army Knife!
It would be very helpful if you and others on the Group would like
to post explaining what you would like to do in your macros or,
perhaps easier, what you cannot do at present in Mach2. For
example
is it to make MDI easier through less typing, to get round
problems
with an existing post-processor, to control special features like
a
part catcher etc.
With this sort of background established, I will try to document
sone more interesting examples.
