progrind Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 Has anyone used the M code aliasing feature? The manual says to edit the alias.ini file. This file doesn't exist. Even if I create it the aliasing doesn't work. The registry says the aliasing file name is NcMcodeAlias.dat. This file name doesn't work either. Any suggestions?

I will take a look at it to see if I can determine what the problem is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
progrind Posted July 13, 2010 Author Share Posted July 13, 2010 The final word on this is that it doesn't work. The M code calls will not pass any variables or call a subprogram. The work around for passing variables is something like this. G103P1 //look ahead off G10.1 P1000 K#100 // Passes the value of #100 to P1000 M06 //P1000 is available for use in the M06 code Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
