Special Command

Post by JVidal »

I need to output one of two commands, weather I'm programming a rough or finish strategy. On the headline I must have BRISK for roughing strategies or SOFT for finishing strategies.

These are special commands for the Siemens802D controller.

Is there any variable I may use or any place to write the command to output within VisualMILL without having to manually edit the post each time?

PS: I know I may have two different posts, but I was hoping that there was a workaround to avoid this.

Thanks!
Best regards

I don't believe this can be done with any top level function.

My request here http://www.mecsoft.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=1848 would work, but you would still have to input by hand.

There are a lot of simple and intuitive enhancement requests that we have been waiting a long time for.

Hi DareBee,

Thanks for the reply.

This will work for now, but I have to agree with you. In two years time, if I open this project again, I will never remember what I have input in the properties...

Thanks anyway!
Best regards
