Hi, I am writing a macro to modify some surface properties and I can't figure out how to define a pickup...
Here is what I am trying to do:
SRFn (actually a coordinate break) : I use SETVAR to set the parameter #1 to variable
SRFn+3 (I want to make it a coordinate break return): I would like to set parameter #1 of this srf by pickup the one of SRFn but I can't find the right ZPL keyword to do that.
Any help is welcome.
Hi Renaud,
I hope this macro excerpt can help:
# Surface where the solve is set
pickup_surface = 2
# Surface from which the solve is picked up
from_surface = 1
# Solve code for a [Thickness Pickup]
# (Parameter pickup code is 'PP_p' where p is the parameter number)
thickness_pickup$ = 'TP'
# Solve codes can be found in the Help File under:
# The Programming Tab > About the ZPL > KEYWORDS (about the zpl) > SOLVETYPE
# Scale factor
scale_factor = 1.25
# Offset
offset = 2.75
# Conic column (Parameter 1-12 columns are encoded with numbers 5-17 respectively)
conic = 3
# The columns are encoded as specified under:
# The Programming Tab > About the ZPL > Using ZPL Macro Solves > Integer Codes for Column Numbers
# Setup the pickup solve
SOLVETYPE pickup_surface, thickness_pickup$, from_surface, scale_factor, offset, conic
Take care,
David
Thank you David, I will have a try.
