Postbuilder Question, ZW parallel axis.
Postbuilder Question, ZW parallel axis.
(OP)
Hi all,
I'm trying to get the ZW axis to work in my post.
let me start by quoting a snippet of the "how to" instructions from postbuilder...
This procedure will be executed automatically at the start of program and anytime it is loaded as a slave post of a linked post.
You will need to add the following line (without the #) to the top of the custom command PB_CMD_before_motion.
#PB_CMD_zw_before_motion
Now, my question is this...
There is no "PB_CMD_before_motion" command in the post...
As far as I can tell this is a process contained in the ugpost_base.tcl.
Is this the intention? that I edit the ug base post? The base post that the help file explicitly states DO NOT EDIT.
Am I missing something?
Jay

If I use a Library controller then the command is added to the post.

Thanks for pointing that out John. I did what you said, and seeing that the "before_motion" default command is empty, I'll just make my own.
Looks like the instructions should indicate to make a custom command if one doesn't exist.
