Oops... A typo on my part before the copy and paste. All the "LV" parameters should be "LY". Sorry for the mix-up.
Try this: ON_LAYER[LY="45"] LAYER_GRP[AR=0, LY="45"] ON_LAYER[LY="46"] LAYER_GRP[AR=0, LY="46"] ON_LAYER[LY="47"] LAYER_GRP[AR=0, LY="47"] ON_LAYER[LY="48"] LAYER_GRP[AR=0, LY="48"] ON_LAYER[LY="49"] LAYER_GRP[AR=0, LY="49"] GRP_DELETE[] � ============================================= Fred Lauzus, CAM Programming Coordinator High Steel Structures, Incorporated mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.highsteel.com ============================================= -----Original Message----- From: Michael Senack [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, March 31, 2000 2:30 PM To: 'Lauzus, Frederick'; Michael Senack; '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: [mfg-smartcam] LAYER_GRP macro error problem Did a cut and paste of your suggestion below but I'm still getting Error 2682: Layer 48 has not been defined.

Is my question. In the macro below I'm loading a mill file and getting it ready for wire cutting. Layers 45 through 49 are for mill setups like vices, clamps, stops etc. These layers are not used in the AGIE wire cut programs so I want to strip them out. Macro works fine until it tries to LAYER_GRP geometry on a layer that has no geometry. Does anybody out there have any ideas on how to get around this problem? // Advanced_Wedm 11.5 Windows 10/16/98 16:48:10 Macro File // W:\mcl\mil2agie.mcl // CREATED: 03/31/00 // // This macro takes any mill program and reads it into the Advanced Wire module. // It then deletes all the tools and // deletes layers 45 thru 49 which are for mill vice, shims, clamps etc // MAC_EXE[FN="C:\\SM11\\SHARED\\SYSMCL\\GR_OFF"] // READ[FN="w:\\bo3000\\bo3176c", FT=0] // ON_LAYER[LY=1, WP="XY_PLANE", LV=0, PT=0] MASK[LY="*", SH=0] REDRAW[] SELECT_ALL[] GRP_DELETE[] MASK[LY="*", SH=1] REDRAW[] // LAYER_GRP[AR=0, LY="45"] LAYER_GRP[AR=0, LY="46"] LAYER_GRP[AR=0, LY="47"] LAYER_GRP[AR=0, LY="48"] <--- help here! macro stops because there's no geometry on layer 48 LAYER_GRP[AR=0, LY="49"] GRP_DELETE[] // VIEW_ANGLE[A1=0, A2=0, VA=2, VP=0, RS=1, WP=0] MAC_EXE[FN="C:\\SM11\\SHARED\\SYSMCL\\GR_ON"] Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
