RE: [mfg-smartcam] Macro inspiration

[Wepking, Bill W.]

Fred's reply will work but it's going to be a lot of macro work.  You might want to consider modifying the tmp file to go thru a @TOOLCHK section that will reset the variables.   @TOOLCHK IF(#DOFF=1,AND #TOOL=1)<#EVAL(#DOFF=1)#EVAL(#TOOL=1)#EVAL(#V1=16)#EVAL(#V2=1)> IF(#DOFF=15,AND #TOOL=1)<#EVAL(#DOFF=15)#EVAL(#TOOL=1)#EVAL(#V1=16)#EVAL(#V2=1)> IF(#DOFF=2,AND #TOOL=1)<#EVAL(#DOFF=2)#EVAL(#TOOL=2)#EVAL(#V1=16)#EVAL(#V2=2)>   Then in each section you would add #CALL(TOOLCHK) Note: This will only work if there is a direct correlation between tool and offsets between machines and that once you changed the offsets in the TOOLCHK section the next time thru it would not change them again.   The advantage would be that you would only have to change the smf and tmp and recode the file for the new machine.  I am also presuming there are no other changes.

However if that machine is tied up, I have to reprogram it to the HS150 Agie by modifying the following user elements manually.   Modify Element 3 from #DOFF=15,#TOOL=1  to #DOFF=15,#TOOL=1,#V1=16,#V2=1   Modify Element 26 from #DOFF=1,#TOOL=1  to  #DOFF=1,#TOOL=1,#V1=16,#V2=1   Modify Element 41 from #DOFF=2,#TOOL=1  to  #DOFF=2,#TOOL=2,#V1=16,#V2=2   Modify Element 56 from #DOFF=3,#TOOL=2  to  #DOFF=3,#TOOL=3,#V1=16,#V2=3   Is it possible to check if the element is an User Element that is #DOFF=1,#TOOL=1 then if it is change it to #DOFF=1,#TOOL=1,#V1=16,#V2=1 ?   Any ideas to get me started are greatly appreciated.   Regards, Michael Senack
