RE: [mfg-smartcam] arc size variable search

This should get you going in the right direction.     // Try this it should search through the data base and find the 399. radiuses that you are looking // for and then turn them into layer 98 and turn off all other layers. It will also explode layer 98 // into line segments and then return it to layer 99. You can change the 99 to what ever layer // you would like it to be.     #NUMELS = TOTEL() #ELNUM = 1 //    THIS SECTION FINDS THE ARCS WE NEED TO WORK WITH WHILE(#ELNUM <= #NUMELS) IF(( TYP(#ELNUM)=3), AND( RAD(#ELNUM)=399.))

Once in a while we get files with arcs to large for the machine. It would be great to have a macro to search for arcs {greater than}.   Steve ATM
