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.
The challenge is calculating the XYZ position after executing a feature and then executing a move increment. Doing that would need to account for your probe radius, retract values, and/or any avoidance moves built into auto features.
Select the move increment command and the feature right before it in the edit window, while in offline mode. Then, press Ctrl+L to execute just those two features. This will move the probe to the location of the equivalent move point position. Then, move the cursor to the line with the move increment command and press Ctrl+M. That will put a move point there. Then make sure you delete the move increment command. Now that I have typed that all out, I wonder if a script could be made to automatically do those steps for each instance of a move/increment command in a measuring routine.
? If not, What expressions are required to emulate the key presses?
