NCGGUI and QtDragon

Well, the docs say one can add ncggui routines to tabs in QtDragon.
I've been through the docs over and over, but just don't get it.
Could someone come up with a simple step by step instruction?   with lots of pictures.....
Sure would be handy.
thanks.

Some docs just pushed - will take a bit before they are available.

To add a new subroutine to ngcgui, do the following:
- press New Tab
- if it has a preamble file, press Select Preamble
- press Select Subfile
- if it has a postamble, press Select Post
- then Create Feature
- then Finalize Gcode
If the SEND checkbox is checked, the created program will be loaded into LinuxCNC. If the SAVE checkbox is checked, the program will be saved to a file.
NGCGUI programs can be auto loaded when QtDragon starts by having the following in your INI file: Jim

thanks. I'll give it a try on a VM version first. don't want to accidentally mess up my working mill system.

Chris. I can look into the source files.....

linuxcnc.org/docs/2.9/html/gui/qtvcp-wid...cp:widgets:qt-ngcgui

Chris & Jim,
thanks.
almost have it working.  just get one error.   see the image.
a file of M110 exists but I don't see anything calling it.   at least not in the ngc routines....
also, since the premble file can be specified in the .ini, it would be nice to have it show in the left panel in the PRE line.
could the POST be specified, and show also?  just thoughts.


Note: 
Jim, don't forget the '=' between the 'NGCGUI_PREAMBLE'  and  'name_of_preamble.ngc'
Chris.  a couple of misspelled in your doc.  Look for #<fedrate>   and a few others....

preamble cannot be preset from the INI in 2.9 code.
Jim's code has advanced since then.

Without any idea what subroutines you are using I can't really help much with debugging.
The subroutine may call another subroutine that calls the M code.
The reason the M110 doesn't work may be because the INI setting SUBROUTINE_PATH =
doesn't point to where the M code is defined.

I will fix the misspellings thanks

wow, you're on. thanks
I am just trying the slot and helix routines for examples.
I will move the m110 code to the subroutine folder and see what happens.
I was just entering another problem and the editor buggered and lost it. I will retype in a few minutes.

ok, that worked. I move M110.ngc to the subroutine folder.....
