Creating Subroutines for ngcgui

To create a subroutine for ngcgui name the file the same as the subroutine is named. Format the sub as shown in this example. The subroutine must be contained within the sub/endsub except for the comment on the first line.

(info: simp -- simple subroutine example)
o<simp> sub
#<ra> = #1 (=.6 Radius A) ;Example parm with comment
#<radius_b> = #2 (=0.4) ;Example parm with no comment
#<endx> = #3 (End X) ;Example with no preset
G0x0y0z1
G3 i#<ra> F10
G3 i-#<radius_b> F100
G0 X#<endx>
o<simp> endsub

Complete usage instructions from ngcgui.tcl are in the attached file.

What is subroutine???

Hello,

can i put dropdown menu, or radiobutton in ngcgui? Or just number input boxes?
Thanks.

ngcgui is great but is a bit limited, I still use it on my CHNC lathe, I use QtPyVCP now and don't have any limitations.

For example my mill GUI built with QtPyVCP has loads of conversational features.

Guys, can anyone tell me why the id.ngc and od.ngc macros don't work (nothing happens and there are no errors). The other macros taper-od.ngc and g76diam.ngc and sphere work fine? What could it be?
