Bored of programming

Example of something I've done last week to keep from getting bored. On our programs we have to input certain information like operator, cmm#, shown/opposite, temp, and date. All this was done with input comments but I learned how to do it with tracefields. I use flow control to alter the program if the part has tooling tabs attached and the flow control was controlled by a yes/no comment. I figured out how to use a tracefield input to control it. I want to make the program as easy and dumb proof as possible. It was annoying having to enter the inputs in the comments as they came up. It is much easier now that all the questions have dropdowns and are all in one box at the beginning of the program. I also have the date pulled from the computer so no input is needed from the operator. I could probably have the CMM number automatically entered as well but I haven't gone quite that far yet.

I am also working on having my job pay for me to do the VB.NET online Hexagon class.
