MSM and Macro's

[SkyMoCo]

I have a custom macro "m105.m1s" that just does a simple:

SetMachZero(3)

Which I use when "spinning" my 4th axis programatically, to reset it, so I don't have to "rewind" it.

It works fine under my non-MSM profile, but not under MSM. Do I need to put my custom macro's somewhere other than "c:/mach3/macros/[profilename]"

I'm thinking this is in the manual, but I cannot seem to find it. That's the problem with software that just works, no reason to mess with it and you forget.

Hi,

I have a custom macro "m105.m1s" that just does a simple:

SetMachZero(3)

Which I use when "spinning" my 4th axis programatically, to reset it, so I don't have to "rewind" it.

That dir should be fine for a user defined mcode. Mach looks in the same place with or without MSM (for mcode files).

If the script has fancy #includes etc to pull in other code, then the path that mach uses is affected by MSM (#include is dependent on the screenset name that is loaded).

Please post the M105 macros script and the error you get when running it with MSM.
I bet we can find out what's going on from that info.

I'm thinking this is in the manual, but I cannot seem to find it. That's the problem with software that just works, no reason to mess with it and you forget.
