Ah, a problem shared is a problem halved or is that doubled?

Thanks Chris. I won't have time to investigate this issue for a few weeks but when I do, I'll let you know if I need help.

Depends on the difficulty! Macros often need to grab the User's settings/input from a form. For example, the Hole Wizard needs to do this. If a later release of VX changes the form field ids, the macro has a problem, but usually the developers try to ensure that the field ids are not changed. Another potential problem is that I have embedded paths to key support files. For example, some of my macros store User preferences, some have prompts available in several languages. This info is stored in seperate files and read-in by the macro at runtime. So, if you have not stored the macros and their files in the folders I have designated, you need to edit these paths. If you open any macro in, say, WordPad, it is easy to edit them and I have included notes in the macro so that you can follow how it works. If your problem is not how they run but actually getting them to run, this is likely to be caused by a syntax/spelling error in the vxCommands file. If you can tell me the symtoms, I will try to dispense a cure. Chris Ward Ee By Gum

If I am having difficulty running these macros is it because I am running V7? I also tried in V6.6 without much luck.

Chris and all INCH unit lovers, I have updated the Lever Muold to work with both mm and inch units and renamed it "pry_slot" to help eliminate any confusion. Thanks Chris SCS

Thanks for the file Chris. I need to add VX macro snippets to my demos.

Read my thesis. It's only sort of related to macro languages but I just wanted to say that.
