To have more control of you operator comments, have the User Command call a custom section to format and output the comment.
i.e. Sample user command text @COMMENT(#comment=OPERATOR MESSAGE) You need support for this in your .tmp file. Declare a string variable for your comments in the @DECLARE section (add this section if not already present). @DECLARE #STR #comment You then need to add the custom template section that is to be called by the User Command. @COMMENT #OFFBLK(#comment)#ONBLK As to your other question, to the best of my knowledge there is no way to control the printer orientation using the macro language alone. ============================================= Fred Lauzus, CAM Programming Coordinator High Steel Structures, Incorporated mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.highsteel.com ============================================= -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, April 28, 2000 11:02 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [mfg-smartcam] Text message help Help!! I would like to leave a text message in the middle of a program but need to exclude the block number as required by the machine control. Is there an option similar to #OFFBLK that can do this from within a User Event? While I am here, I guess I will ask for more help. Is it possible to pick the Landscape option when printing graphics from within a Macro? It is nice to know that there is a knowledge pool available long after Smartcam was discontinued. Thanks for all of the help. Just reading other threads is a great benefit to me.
