yeah, i got it to work - switched everything to numbered varibles, and broke things down to one operation per block with brackets every which way. sheesh. -------------------------------------------- On Sun, 7/21/13, Gene Heskett <[email protected]> wrote:

Math is allowed but you /must/ pay attention to the syntax. Any math operation such as above must be put in a [box], only straight assignments of one var to another are allowed. #<_RR>=#<_DD> is legal, but what you want to do needs the box: #<_RR>=[#<_DD>*.5] or #<_RR>=[#<_DD>/2] And you can nest them several layers deep to enforce the wanted order of processing, but the number of [[ must equal the number of ]] in a given line of gcode.
