Over the past several months, I’ve been tinkering around with ChatGPT’s machine learning models.
I’ve created a GPT model that is specific to macro creation for PowerMill. I’m now extending it to the community as I think I have taught it everything I know. I would love for the model to learn from other people.
Ultimately I’d like this to become a tool we can all use to remove the arduous “Write then Test” methods we all use.
Now I don’t want this to replace the macro writing all together (which I’m pretty sure it will given enough time) but more so a helper tool for us. IT’s already generated some pretty decent skeleton structures for me to get started on when I’m drawing a blank which is nice.
It has it’s quirks but works fairly well.
Please feel free to use this GPT model to help out with whatever you require of it.
Hopefully this becomes something beneficial for us all.
i like this! i’ll take a look at this and give it a try. i probably will not use it long-term. i still enjoy writing the powermill macros & dont want to dull or lose that skill by becoming reliant on ai to do that. i might be a glutton for pain, but for me, there is something rewarding after wrestling with a chunk of code for a hour.
that said, i’ve been using chatgpt to create solidworks macros for me because there is sooooo much stuff to sift through and there arent enough hours in the day for me to both sift through all the api and try to fumble through vba. its definitely a useful tool.
i would say paste this on the ad forum for all the people who dont want to try and just pull up with their macro order like its a burger joint, but they dont deserve to feast on your hard work. thanks for sharing!
Not a problem at all. Glad to be able to share it with the community.
Honestly, I’m getting too old to be fighting with syntax on large blocks of code (2500+ lines) haha.
I was thinking of posting it on the Autodesk Forums, but then I would just be getting constant messages on how it works and even more so to debug the macros it generates. This is more so for people who know how the macro system works and want to develop large scale automated scripts.
ha! i hear that. that’s what i tell the young bucks at work when they look at me weird for using ai to create sw macros. i’m like dude, i’m too old for this stuff. i can barely write sensible powermilll macs. i dont care about learning a new language and system, i just want results.
