<title>Macro Quickie: Smallest Radius</title>
<link>http://www.zwsoft.com/forum/viewthread.php?tid=118</link>
<description>Use the attached macro (in Part model space, not CAM space) to quickly find the smallest radius face on your model (works with imported data too). In most cases, this face is going to be a fillet and you want to know the minimum rad you can use for your finish cut. I'll expand this later so that the User can consider all rads to select the best cutter for all cuts. Note that only 3 positions along each face edge are tested so a variable fillet swept around concatenated edges will not give an accurate result. Also, the macro does not distinguish between convex &amp; concave.

You can pick the whole model either with a window pick or right-mouse &quot;pick all&quot;, but if you know what region is going to have the smallest face rad, just window-pick the region.

<description>The VX Europe Browser-Installer and some handy new macros are now (at long last) posted to the &quot;Other VX Discussions&quot; forum. This makes it easy for you to install a macro to the User Toolbar(s) of your choice, no need to create or edit any VX system files &lt;img src=&quot;i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif&quot; border=&quot;0&quot;&gt; </description>

<description>Actually, I have not had time to get it running to check it out.  Does this mean that the installer program that you wrote will replace your readme instructions.  I had a problem with step 3 (see thread below).  Should I just wait for the installer and try it out?

Thanks. </description>

<description>Sorry for this late reply but it sounds as though you have got the macro running now &lt;img src=&quot;i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif&quot; border=&quot;0&quot;&gt; Many people have told me they are interested in using the macros but not in writing or installing them, so I have recently written a &quot;VX Macro Installer-Browser&quot;. This little program allows you to review a macro, decide whether it is useful to you and if so, it is installed automatically. Instead of having to type a command to run the macro, an icon is added to the User Toolbars of your choice &lt;img src=&quot;i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif&quot; border=&quot;0&quot;&gt; I expect to make the Installer available on the forum next week &lt;img src=&quot;i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif&quot; border=&quot;0&quot;&gt; </description>

<description>If vxCommands file doesn't exist, make one.  To load this macro from the VX command line by typing !MR &amp;lt;enter&gt;, the file might contain the following text:

MR, $load MacrosMinRMinRad.vxm

<description>Step 3 in your setup (MinRad_README_EN.txt) says:

3) Add a &quot;short-cut&quot; name to the VX &quot;Commands&quot; text file in your User Folder, e.g. &quot;MR&quot;

I cannot locate the text file you mention in any of my user folders or on the VX v7.4 CD.  Is this still valid for v7.4?  If so, can you provide some additional information?

Thanks in advance.&lt;img src=&quot;i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif&quot; border=&quot;0&quot;&gt; </description>
