Assignment Shortcuts and their meanings?

Hi guys!
I've been a CMM Programmer for two years.
There are many things I don't know.
What I want to learn most is the Assignment command.
How do these commands work and what do they mean?
What do the abbreviated names mean?
Can you help me?
Thank you very much in advance.

  • Instead of reading a bunch of code and trying to understand it all, I learned a lot on a case by case basis. For instance, a long time ago I wanted to put a flat headed screw into a threaded hole to get the thread depth. In the past I would just measure a point from the end of the screw to the surface it was going in to and do the math myself and input it in to a key in dimension. Now using variable, I have PCMDIS doing the math for me. When I tried just reading all the literature in the past, it just became overwhelming. Little codes here and there makes you start to understand how it works on a greater scale. Good luck.
