    Question Parametric program in Xilog/maestro (lineboring)

    hi there!!

    I am sorry if I am on the wrong place..

    does any one knows how to make a parametric program where the line boring (amount of holes) increases or decreases as the panel size increases or decreases and always have the same distance on both ends?
    I have something similar in WoodWop but I can't figure it out in xilog3 or maestro. This are some of the formulas I use in WoodWob

    amount of holes - NH=MOD((L-9*2)/1.2598)+1
    starting point of line bore - XC1=(L-DL)/2
    distance from first to last hole - DL=(NH-1)*1.2598

    thanks in advance!!

    Don't understand all values you have like MOD( in front , but in xilog3 or Xilogplus you can use L or PAR function

    L NH =(((DX-9*2)/1.2598)+1)/32
    XBO X=50 Y=50 Z=10 R=NH x=32 D=8 N="P"

    Thank you for the quick response, I think that value make the number a whole number instead of a number with decimals, for instance (((DX-9*2)/1.2598)+1)/1.2598 is 39.85, in woodwod that value (MOD) will round up the number to 40 (amount of holes in a piece 80" long , DX=80.)

    I try the formula you gave me but it only shows 1 hole

    Re: Parametric program in Xilog/maestro (lineboring)

    you can test your results with line

    PRINT "Value of NH=?d ; DX=?d" NH DX

    DX is the length of your plate. Like L in woodwop.
    Then if DX=600mm with formula NH =(((DX-9*2)/1.2598)+1) is result 462 holes

    In Xilog for round function is RD round down and RU round up

    L NH =RD(1.9) is 1
    L NH =RU(1.9) is 2

    Hello, dear colleague.
    To perform a parametric program xilog, you could should use either DX or dy- and also the IF function.
    For example DX = DY = 500 600
    XBO X = 50
    XBO X = DX-50
    XBO X = DX / 2
    XBO X = DX (DX / 4 + 50) IF DX <= 500 and DY> 601

    This are just examples but using these codes and functions you get a parametric program Xilog.

    You can also declare variables using the function L
    Example:
    L AA = 50
    XBO X = DX-AA
