Multiple stops
In the Motion window, is there a way to set more than one stop :?:
If not, it would be nice to be able to set multiple stops.
For example, stop at all:
M0
M1
M6
End of each Setup.
Just a thought... :idea:

Re: Multiple stops
You can only stop on errors and warnings as well as the "Stop at" choices.

Thanks for your reply Serge, but I think your missing my point. I would like to be able to select more than one choice in the "Stop at" pop-up menu.
For example, let's say I want to stop Vericut at a program M00 (Program stop) to add hardware to the fixture. AND I also want to stop Vericut at the "End of each Setup".
Currently I have to select "Program stop", run Vericut until it stops, add hardware (make visible) and then remember to change the stop to "End of each Setup" so it doesn't run thru the next setup.
I just think it would make things easier if you could select more than one option IMHO.

Re: Multiple stops
You can edit in a simple Message block at each location where you want to stop, then in the Motion dialogue box select "Stop At 'Text'" and enter the text in the text box. The contents of the Message blocks don't have to be identical. They can have specific information as to the nature of this particular stop, along with the text in the "Stop At" text box.

Re: Multiple stops
An "OR" option for "Stop At Text" was brought up about 2 years ago. This is still a good idea!
