Re: Special Machine four axis
Sorry just noticed my reply above may not be what you need as you are trying to run a sub-Prog nn times within a single run of your master prog
Hope this helps

Re: Special Machine four axis
I have completed my version of my VCP but have one error.
I changed the X axis jog buttons size and location. They look good on the screen.
But when I press X+ I get a Y+ movement same goes with the X- jog button I get a Y- movement.
All other axis move correctly. I did change to X_positive_front_mount, X_negative_front_mount style of button.
Everything work just fine before that.
I switched back to X_postive x_negative how the code was before and I'm good again. But my arrow is pointing the wrong way.
What did I miss?

Re: Special Machine four axis
Are you using Mill software (where X is axis #1), but using lathe VCP buttons?
On a lathe, the X axis is axis #2, so lathe buttons like "X_positive_front_mount" and "X_negative_front_mount" use skin event numbers for axis #2 jogging.
You can edit the button XML files to change the "skin_event_num" field to use axis #1 jogging command numbers (37 for minus, 39 for plus).
