Macros
All macros for Centroid are generated as M-Code macro files. Each file contains the functionality for the associated M-Code that the file is named after. All generated files should be placed in the root folder of your Centroid CNC12 installation.
Profile Section
There are two generation options available, All Macros and Find Z Position. The packages may be downloaded as a zipped folder or exported to a local directory if your browser supports it.
Errors
When an error is detected in your profile, macro generation is disabled for All Macros. The Find Z Position macro remains enabled since it is needed for configuring your profile.
Hover over the

Export
Clicking EXPORT generates the programs and subroutines and places them unzipped into a local directory.
