How to reset an incremental value used in an if statement?

[tomot]

I hope this attachment illustrates the issue:
after the routine has run I want to reset @fix back to its original value of @fix = 60
in order to run another if statement of a similar nature on another face.

Why didn't you post the code snippet inside a 'code' block?
It means we have to retype everything !!
Anyway... after you have the
@fix += @jmp1
add something like this after the ' while...end'
` if @fix >= 432
@fix = 60

do other stuff ???

end`
or whatever you like......
Only posting a selection is somewhat useless...

#default intermediate column placement
@fix = @flenx/2-@fcol if not @fix
startfix = @fix

if ...
  # @fix gets changed here
end

@fix = startfix

# a new if statement here

thanks 2 both if u

if @fix >=@flenx/2-@fcol
   @fix = @flenx/2-@fcol
end

fixed the issue

So what you really asked for was how to ensure a maximum value?

NO! ...the original value @fix = 60 just happened to be the result of 2 user selected variables, @flenx & @fcol. When the "while..end" loop finished the value of @fix = 432 I now needed to reset @fix back to its original user selected value.
I had been looking in the API, thinking there might be a 'reset' comment

My solution is more readable. Let me rewrite it, thus:

#default intermediate column placement
resetfix =( @fix ? @fix ; @flenx/2-@fcol )
 
if ...
  # @fix gets changed here
end
 
@fix = resetfix
 
# a new if statement;
if ...
  # @fix gets changed again ...
end

@fix = resetfix

# ANOTHER if statement that may change @fix;
