Move Increment to Move Point Conversion Script?

Confused Is anybody familiar with a script that will scour your program and replace all the Move Increments with Move Points in the alignment context in which the moves reside? My team really doesn't like Move increments, but I really like the convenience while programing. It would be neat if there were a macro that converts them all with a click of a button.Confused

  • am writing a new program. am going to use only movepoints Rage


    Well like what I'm showing in the pic, on a move point, lets say I'm writing it offline, then I have to account for the X,Y, and Z. With the increment I only have to worry about the X or Y or Z instead of all of them. I'm a clearance plane kinda of guy but when I have to pick up a few holes on a different workplane, then I shut clearance plane of and use avoidance moves, but once in a great while there are these little obstacles like I show above that creates little problems, I have suggested different settings for avoidance moves in the past to Hexagon about having a before avoidance and an after avoidance where you can control the distance of each one. Just like 's rotary tool issue, I'm sure they are working on it.
