I'm working on a nifty little bit of code that will aid the operator in aligning the part 'square' to the machine axes. It prompts them to measure a plane. Then with if/end if statements it compares the plane's vector to a number and prompts the operator with an operator comment to either rotate the part clockwise or counterclockwise and try again.
Right now if it isn't 'square' it pops up the comment directing the operator to rotate appropriately. The operator then has to click 'ok' or press 'done'. It then cycles to the plane again with a goto command.
I want to eliminate the need for the operator to press 'done' or click 'ok'. I would like for the comment to display for something like 5 seconds and then move on to the goto command and thus cycle back to the manual plane.
Is this possible?
