VBS Script on startup


pip
 Share

Recommended Posts

Hello everyone, I'm back in mastercam 2019.  New year = New job. Have been programing swiss lathes for a year with swissexpert.

Has something changed with 2019, I used to start a Vb script at start up, by writing in the property box of the windows icon. This doesn't appear to function anymore, or am I doing something wrong (new syntax maybe)

One of mastercam users wrote a VBscript to load layers with name  "csv2levels.vb" anyone still using it, and able to point me in the right direction.

"C:\Program Files\Mcam2019\Mastercam.exe" C:\Users\Public\Documents\shared Mcam2019\VB\csv2levels.vb

Thank you in advance..

As far as I can tell, we expect (and have expected in the past) that VB script name to have a .VBS extension, not .VB

Can  you try that?

I modified my desktop shortcut to refer to a .VBS file on my desktop that doesn't even exist ... and I got

So it is trying to run it.
