Macros for Dummies

[mim]

Thanks Rob

I am using UC400eth and the Neuron screenset. Where are the macros for the Buttons: Rip Cut, Cut Recover, Simulate, test etc (like 2173 and so on).
I didn't find them in neuron profile folder. I am in learning curve to C# and macro, especially macro for UCCNC.
Are they stored in the plug in?

Hello mom

Have you got access to the neuron Dropbox folder?

If not email Andrew at neuron thc and ask him if you can have access.

All icons (button images), backgrounds and macros are available for download from there.

Note there is a Russian and English language version as well as the neuron lite and professional versions too (the pro can do oxygen/ acetylene (or propane) plus extract fans etc.

Hi,
with great respect for the work Rob has done with Notepad++, why not use Visual Studio. The community edition is free. For writing macros i'm using Visual Studio. I wrote a dll with all uccnc functions and name spaces that you can use with macros. The advantage is that you can use IntelliSense in Visual Studio. You can have suggestions for all uccnc methods and all methods inside of a name spaces that you can use for macros.

Just use whatever works for you.

I did not have a look at trying to figure out how to setup intellisense on VS

When I was attempting plugins
I've not got the time at the moment too many projects on the go

If you setup something I'm sure others will use it

I never attempted or even considered using VS for macro's for reasons Terry pointed out. IMO nothing beats Notepad++ for macro's...Thanks Rob!!

The problem with Roslyn is that it works only from .NET 4.5 and above and so then it would make it impossible to run the UCCNC on Windows XP if we have to convert to .NET 4.5 because of Roslyn.
Otherwise with Roslyn it would be possible to make a macro debugger.

For example in VS if you were to call Getvar(500) teh intellisense will give you UC.Getvar(500) and a macro will require exec.Getvar(500).

Hi Terry that's right if you use plugininterface.dll. But if you create a Class Library with three classes (exec, AS3 and AS3jog) and inside every class put the methods that belong to that class is different.
