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
Ack the docs it must be named internally as a sub and again as an endsub
to match the call in the parent program in addition to being named the
same as the call? Took me hours to find that in the docs. Whatever, I
guess it shows how long its been since I did use it last. But it will
work hole by hole. Long day, back at it tom. Thanks all.
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.
