macro to gcode

[foxvalley]

Does anyone know a way to convert the macro g code milltronics spits out when saving a conversational program into a basic or standard gcode program? There has to be a way i just haven't figured it out. Any help is good help. Thanks.

Macros created as a result of conversational programs generally are simply collections of variables. I'm not familiar with milltronics, but several controllers such as a mitsubishi M700/70 have conversational programming that creates a line like:

G#1X#202Y[CURRENT_LOC]

Looking at local/common/system variables you'ld find #1=1 #202=3.5 Current_loc = the current location of a machine queried and commented as shown

So it mainly becomes an excercise in variable substitution like:

G01X3.5Y4.45 etc....
