I would like to spot, drill, and tap holes on Fanuc 6M, 11M, 15M and Pro3 controls. I would like to keep the entire group of X and Y locations in a separate file, and all the canned cycle or routines in a separate file.
What I would like to do is avoid moving to the first X an Y location before calling the canned cycle or routine. The idea being that an operator could create a file with just X and Y locations, then run the main program to spot, drill, and tap.
I have not written a single macro in a good four years. Most of the programs I have done have to do with milling, probing or angle calculation.
I can think of a couple different ways to get to where I want to be with this, but I can't help thinking that I am forgetting something very basic and simple.
(Like you can do this with one line of code.)
Is there anyone out there who can help me.
I would be extremely thankful as this is really beginning to bug me.
Thank you,
Dave
