MessageMacro question

I am trying to use MessageMacro with an Override value of 3.  This is supposed to output an info message, but where?   It doesn't show up in the log or message areas.

MessageMacro works fine with 1 and 2.  Error and Warning messages.

While I am at it, anyone have detailed info on the options driven by override values 4-7.

Re: MessageMacro question

Val,
Documentation for this macro, as found in the VERICUT online Help, is as follows (for others that have not researched as far as you have):

MessageMacro? Creates a message using the input text string value. The message type is specified by the input numeric value. 1= Error, 2=Warning, 3= Info, 4= Debug, 5= Input, 6=Output, 7= Macro Modal, 10= Error Continuation

The "message type" controls how VERICUT handles message text supplied in this case via the "Override Text" field. Message destination are options can be found on the "Messages" tab of the Setup>G-Code>Process Options window.

I will also post a tip in the Tips & Tricks forum for using variables with this macro to provide greater flexibility in message writing. --Gene
