Re: Mirroring

Hey !

Add the Mxx to the M registers, like M21
Add macro there Mirrorx, & whatever

:wink:

By the way, when you add macro, there is a macro filter
as you type each letter in the lower window:
  M I R R O, all the macros appear with that string. in the upper window

click on the one or couplet, (Y+A) (X+B) you need

If Rotary tables are involved, mirroring is a little more complicated
on one machine I have is eia360, and the + / - sign controls the direction clw, cclw of the table.

other machines i have there is an M15  / 16 for direction.

what i am trying to say is If Rotary tables are involved, BFC.
that mean Be Carefull.
:twisted:

take care
:wink:

gotta love these smileys

Re: Mirroring

Make sure that you added the new M word before the M *. When looking for the macro, VERICUT goes through the M-codes from top to bottom. When it meets a matching condition, it stops. It probably stops at M * which calls the macro "Unsupported"

Best regards,
