I was told at the GA camp but have not been able to get the CTRL-R to work.

I got the on the fly speed < and > to work just great!

Where are the shortcuts listed so I can use it as a reference guide?

Hey Ed!

How about R-R-Enter?... or Enter-Enter-Enter?... or looping the file?

Thanks Paco.

R-R-Enter must have been what I thought was CTRL-R.

I tried the first two and that is great.

Not sure how to make the looping file but I bet you or someone will post that next.

I just need a little direction and I can take off..... Landing might be another post for help :-)

The latest version 3.4.19 has the CTRL-R capability.

Here' another approach to looping that I've been using for a long time on my PRT. I have a momentary switch mounted right on the gantry that is wired to the same input as the zero plate. When I am running a bunch of the same part that requires changing of a blank or part, the tool waits until I press the button and then runs the cut again. You have to manually "Stop" it when you're done.



REPEAT: 'Placed where you want the file to repeat from.

'Body of part file

'Jog home or where you want the tool to wait at.

WAITHERE:
&TEST=%(51)
IF &TEST=1 THEN GOTO REPEAT
PAUSE .2
GOTO WAITHERE


&TEST=%(51) looks at the condition of input 1.

It works pretty nice, you never have to go back to the keyboard to replay or restart the file whether you have a few parts or hundred's to run in the same session.
