Aligned Workplane macro

CREATE WORKPLANE NORMALSINGLE

Macro Pause " Pick Surface"
VIEW EDIT TOP
ZOOM FULL
ACCEPT

 

In powermill I can include the command Macro Pause "" so the user can place the work plane on a specific surface before the remaining macro continues. I'm going to put Macro Pause in the example. What command would I use for Powershape.

 

Is their a macro command that will complete the process and skip the edit option. So when the surface is selected and the workplane is positioned, the command stops.

Hi @john_lute 

 

I haven't done a lot of PowerShape macro's, but if you put in the command...... "input free" it will behave the same as a Macro Pause in PowerMill.  I just don't think you can put any instructions after the pause like you can in PowerMill.

 

Also, here is a link to the PowerShape macro writing guide.
