Is there an ABSOLUTE command in V11.5 mcl language?
I'm converting a V4.5 .mac macro file to a V11.5 .mcl macro file.
In the V4.5 macro file I used the ABS command in front of the #CBDEPTH
variable because, if you enter a minus number for the CBDEPTH variable it is
changed into a positive number.
Variables
Enter_Val
$#Z3=#Z1-ABS(#CBDEPTH)
@CR
Here is the V11.5 macro file...
PROMPT[TX="Enter the Z_level for the top surface of the counterbore.",
VN="Z1"]
PROMPT[TX="Enter the Z_level for the bottom surface of the counterbore.",
VN="Z2"]
PROMPT[TX="Enter the counterbore diameter.", VN="CBOREDIA"]
PROMPT[TX="Enter the depth of the counterbore.", VN="CBDEPTH"]<-- I WANT
THIS TO BE ALWAYS A POSITIVE NUMBER
PROMPT[TX="Enter the hole diameter.", VN="HOLEDIA"]
//
ON_LAYER[LY=15, WP="XY_PLANE", LV=#Z1-#CBDEPTH, PT=#Z1]
//
ARC[DR=0, XC=#X1, YC=#Y1, RA=#CBOREDIA/2, AS=0, AE=0, SE=2, SS=2,
SI=2, SC=2, LV=#Z1-#CBDEPTH]
//
ON_LAYER[LY=15, WP="XY_PLANE", LV=#Z2, PT=#Z1-#CBDEPTH]
//
ARC[DR=0, XC=#X1, YC=#Y1, RA=#HOLEDIA/2, AS=0, AE=0, SE=2, SS=2, SI=2, SC=2,
LV=#Z2]
I know I can use a WHILE loop to check the variable CBDEPTH and test if it
is less then zero try again but...
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
