i can not figure out how to turn fixture offsets on and off. it
looks like it is easy to turn tool offsets on and off but i can not
provide a Y offset in a tool offset unless there is something i am
missing.
i am using fixture offsets to get the Y offset i want but need to
toggle it on and off when running different gcode programs for faces
of a part i am making. i need to have the offset effective when
milling one face, turn it off to mill the other face and then turn
it back on all automatically. i can't turn fixtures off and then
select the one i need each time because i want to be specify an
offset as needed and keep this one until i change it.
i am about to look more deeply into the VB script possibilities but
it would sure save time if someone already figured this out and can
provide a script. when each program finishes it does move to a known
location so i can probably read the Y DRO and calculate the fixture
offset from that, save it and restore the offset from a stored
value. since i have very little experience with vbscript i am hoping
to find an example or some other way to accomplish what i want.
this is the last detail i need to add to my machine so i hope to get
it done soon.
