I have a VeryLongTermProject™ that I've been working on that requires learning how to write some possibly complex macros. I've bought books, I've read forums ( including the sticky, here ), and even tried reaching out to others that are more knowledgeable. ( which is technically, just about anybody... )
No Love. No matter what I try, in very short order, my eyes glaze over and a chrome squirrel runs past. POOF.
What was I saying... ?
Oh yeah... Macros... Is anyone aware of an interactive educational resource that might help me learn what I need to learn in effort to write what I need? Ultimately, I want to machine a family of parts that are similar, but editing in various values to result in the creation of the machine movements that will result in the machining of each member of the family. There will likely be approximately 20 values that change each time. I have all the math, already. I even have an Excel spreadsheet that calculates most of what is needed, including some of the machine movements. I'm looking to take this to the next level by having all of this in one or a few macros that will then actually _do_ all of this...
I would post everything here, but there is much of it that is covered by NDA, and some may even be proprietary. So... that's not much of an option at this point, unfortunately.
Any help? Anyone? I'd even consider paying someone to help, but I'm not even sure what that might cost. Ultimately, I really want ( and need ) to learn for myself.
