SBLink FlipOp "fence" location question

[dkrage]

How does one set the SBLink flip op fence locations?

I scoured the manual and all 'Link dialog boxes...I must be blind, or jus' stoopid.

Note: I do not wish to do "Flip Ops First" as I am using pneumatic pop-up pins and an "L Fence" registered to the pins.
(thanks Gary Campbell for your "Table Index, Revistied" Web Column)

Dan...
It is assumed that all FlipOps will take place at location 0,0 on the table. If, like me, you wish to do this at another location then you would need to add a GOSUB similar to this in the file:

"IF &SheetCount = F THEN GOSUB FLIP_OFFSETS"

This should be added after the offsets are loaded for the tools, but before they are applied.

Here is the Sub:

FLIP_OFFSETS: 'enables offsets for SB Link flip ops fence
IF &SheetCount <> F THEN RETURN
&X_offset = &X_offset + &FlipOp_X
&Y_offset = &Y_offset + &FlipOp_Y
RETURN

The FlipOp_X and Y variables need to be loaded in the my_vars file or in the header and must match your fence corner location.

NOTE* These excerpts are not from the OEM files and may not work properly on your machine. They are unsupported. (but they work) ;)

Excellent Gary. Thank you!
Had a feeling it needed to be coded in...
