The Halshow "Watch" tab can be better for this. You can build a list,
(and save the layout) and can also set the values of inputs, as well
as view outputs.
Sounds useful. is it covered by a manpage?
What I am attempting to do would be useful to have an array of xy
locations, but how does one go about defining an #<_arraynamex+index>
and #<_arraynamey+index>? The first portion of this particular program
is to survey the locations of the hole the holes I'm actually going to
put bolts in, and I figure since this is not going to be overly
flexible, is to locate the 8 holes (every third one) and if I cannot use
the array by indexing into it my code will grow like Topsy cuz I'll have
to write it 8 times instead of looping thru it once. Reading thru the
docs it appears the "g1 f2 x[#<_arx>+[#100*#<_distance>]] y#<_ary>"
might be legal. That would let me write a <while[#100 le 7] loop
incrementing #100 from 0 to 7 knowing only the distance from hole 0 to
hole 7 by finding those two holes and dividing by 7. And would only need
3 storage locations for x (assuming the bolt holes were accurately
bored. Rarely the case with chinese linear bearings. I swear their
boltholes are drilled by hand. I have one that y wanders so far off
center that I can see the countersink in the bottom of the ball track.
So unless you can tell me how to set up an 8 element xy array, I'll have
to unroll the loop and use at least 18 vars. Can you rescue me?
Thanks Andy.
Now I have a different problem. A subroutine I wrote back in 2012 has
ceased to load correctly using this syntax.
o<tholefinder.ngc> call
and I've copies of it in nc_files and in nc_files/subs, error msg claims
EOF while searching for it. Yet I've used it hundreds of times to find a
hole so I can rigid tap it.
Thanks for any hints.
Cheers, Gene Heskett, CET.
