It's a bit of a fiddle, and I would be tempted to try it with no tool loaded first, but you should be able to initialize the loop counters to the values you need in the MDI window, then right-click in the code window at the bottom and "run from here". You will have to put the machine into the right state (tool loaded, feed rates, spindle speed) manually too. All in all it is probably easier to temporarily edit the code as Kirk suggested. -- atp ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Palm PDK Hot Apps Program offers developers who use the Plug-In Development Kit to bring their C/C++ apps to Palm for a share of $1 Million in cash or HP Products.
