Error in tool_offsetview.py

The script calculates fairly correctly if g54 z0 is set to the A-axis rotation axis, and Y0 is above the A-axis center.

This is just a rough idea, to calculate the speed at the tool tip completely correctly, a few corrections would have to be made.

The script does not have a loop, so I run it like this:  "watch -n0.2 ./new_vel.py"

Hi Cmorley

I like the MacroTab Widget, you can easily make your own simple macros, but I think it needs some fixes.
I can save the current parameters to a file, but there is a problem with restoring the settings from the file.
The "set_style" function also does not work. I tried to fix it, but so far without success.
Could you look at this problem?

You bet. I will look at it as soon as I can.

Can you give more detail of the load problem?
I'm guessing you want it to autoload at startup?

set_style is old code from a slightly different version.
IIRC if you use it then you can't override the style with the style editor.

Here are some of the things you can change from the style sheet editor:

I think it needs a way to change styles per macro as it's hard to get sizes to work with different macros.
If there is interest I can develop it more.

I did push some work to fix an error I found.

It's almost good.

Setting the style in the qtdragon file is quite sufficient.

Restoring settings from the file works well, but only if they are integers.
If it's a floating-point number, then an error appears as in the screenshot.

Another problem (request, proposal) is the "RadioButton" element. It works like a switch and in some macros this is the desired behavior, but in others it is not.
If I want more items to check a logical condition, then there is a problem. That's why a new "CheckBox" element would be useful.

Ok fixed floating point problem.

added new default commands:
for a radio button (with exclusive behavior)
radiotrue
radiofalse

for a checkbox (independent):
checktrue
checkfalse

true and false now will show a checkable pushbutton

Great.

Everything works fine, that's what I wanted. Thanks a lot.

It would be good to update the documentation, because old ngc files with "MACRODEFAULTS=true,false" settings will stop working for some users after updating "MacroTab".

I did update the docs but..
Maybe I should set true/false to be radio buttons too and add buttontrue/false.

Maybe leave it as it is now, but add so that radioButton also works with true/false string for backward compatibility ?
