If somebody could help me out with this I would appreciate it. I just started to experiment with script writing and have written this toolpath generating script that works in Metric, but when you try to run it in English it won't work. I have tried a few variations and can't manage to get it right.




dim V_X2 as double
dim V_Y2 as double
dim V_Z2 as double
dim V_COPIES as integer

Ask Header="Translate Repeat", Output, Cancel=canc, "X Translate;0"=V_X2, "Y Translate;0"=V_Y2,"Z Translate;0"=V_Z2
If canc Then
Exit
End If

Translate Type = 2, X1 = 0, Y1 = 0, Z1 = 0, X2 = V_X2, Y2 = V_Y2, Z2 = V_Z2 \
, Copy = FALSE, Scale = 1, NCopies = 0, Drag = FALSE


Ask Header="Translate Repeat2", Output, Cancel=canc, "X Translate Repeat;0"=V_X2, "Y Translate Repeat;0"=V_Y2,"Z Translate Repeat;0"=V_Z2,"# COPIES;0"=V_COPIES
If canc Then
Exit
End If

Translate Type = 2, X1 = 0, Y1 = 0, Z1 = 0, X2 = V_X2, Y2 = V_Y2, Z2 = V_Z2 \
, Copy = TRUE, Scale = 1, NCopies = V_COPIES, Drag = FALSE

Thanks, Idiod

Scripting defaults to metric.
Need to add multipliers, the easiest is as shown.

You can go further with coding and add a step that will detect "mm" in the input and skip the multipliers.

Could you explain a little about what you mean about coding because I do both Metric and Standard work and it would be nice if the same script would work for both. Also the number of copies I'm generating seems to be multiplying in Standard. Thanks for your help.
