Calling a sub program in VR Milling v5

Post by Denford Admin » Mon 26 Apr , 2010 10:30 am

We've been asked a couple of times recently about calling a sub program with any filename from VR Milling v5.
Instead of having to name your program something like 9001.fnc you can use the [SUBPROGRAM directive which allows a number to be associated with any file

eg:
[SUBPROGRAM 9001 U:\Denford Subprograms\RectangularPocketSub
M98 P9001

Will define the file RectangularPocketSub.fnc located on the network drive: U:\Denford Subprograms\ to be the program called by M98 P9001

So, the file can be named anything you like, and located anywhere locally or externally (network)
