Modifying the Offset Slope Macro & All Snaps on/off Macro

    I was wondering if it would be possible to modify the Offset slope to sample the VPIs on the source linestring when sample distance is set to 0.0 rather than segment endpoints only? I've been trying to find a sample code that does that but haven't found one yet. Any help would be very much appreciated.
    Also was curious if a macro to disable all line snaps/return snaps to previous state was something that's achievable? Something similar to how AutoCAD snaps function.

    Really wish there was a source to purchase individual macros or offered a macro solution without requiring a internet connection. AHK is about the extent of minds ability it seems.  

    Thank you.

    I agree. Rockpile pretty much grabbed a monopoly on TML development and there is no way I'm paying the costs for maybe one or two macros that seem useful. I have no idea what most of their commands do or where they fit into the workflow of modeling for machine control.

    I am trying to learn to develop macros, but my limited programming experience stunts me. People who develop TMLs need to share their creations on this forum and encourage a more open approach. There is no way Rockpile has the only programmers in the world who develop these macros.

    I think $100 a month is pretty reasonable for RPS, but I agree that the ability to buy a single command with an offline key would be a great option for many.  Accupoint has developed a couple, but we still don't have a great way to sell them. I'm hoping Quan can get some more time dedicated to his platform.
