This command allows you to define an input panel or dialog box during command save which prompts for user input on subsequent executions of the PCI macro.
Complete - Check to confirm that the Askbox definition is complete. Until this box is checked, the dialog is redisplayed after each click of the OK button to define multiple Askbox entries.
Prompt String - Specifies the prompt string for the variable, to be displayed in the resultant Askbox dialog.
Variable Name - Selects the name of the variable to be assigned when using this Askbox. String and numeric variable are supported by the Define Askbox command. Digitise-type variables must be defined using the Define Variable command.
To open the Define Variable dialog, right click on the PCI Variable tab in the EdgeCAM browser window and select New from the context menu.
