X+ Setup Sheet and Tool List - 3rd party Add-on

Recommended Posts

Good morning Gunther. I noticed the cycle time for the pencil path is inaccurate. The pencil path I just toolpathed backplots at 25 minutes and the setup sheet is displaying 4 hours and 40 minutes. I remember seeing this a couple years ago and you found a fix at that time. Thanks for a great setup sheet!! :D

It's in the clipboard.

You can paste it in almost any application.

Do you think the "save as file" option is necessary?

 

Günther,

For me the "save as file" option was great. I was taking screenshots during verify, so the operator was able to have a quick reference how the part should look at different stages.

Thanks for all the great work!

Hey Günther,

 

Installed X+ for X6 and now have the layout as I like it. It appears that the number of decimal places is no longer taken from the systems Regional & Language settings. Some values are truncated to 1 place (no trailing zeros) and others go to 4 places.

 

How do I control the number of decimal places?

 

Also, I really miss the scrollable tool list preview that showed with the X5 version! I used it on every job to preview Z Min vs Extension & Flute Length without having to launch a browser. It was great for quickly listing tools used on a specific B rotation for horizontals too.

 

Any chance of bringing it back?

 

In the X5 version, the css code contained a way to alternate the background color of the tool rows for clarity. I can't get this to work with the X6 version...any suggestions?

 

And finally, would it be possible to add the ability to rename the tool list headers?

 

Thank you for creating & supporting the X+ Setup Sheet...its indispensable and greatly appreciated!

The lang.dll

 

You'll probably have to save it to the desktop and then move the old, copy the new to the chooks\X+ folder.

 

It's string table 5 that your looking for.

 

 

Thanks Josh however when I try to view string 5 I get an error saying its a non-standard resource layout and has probably been compressed with an "EXE" compressor. I am using Resource Hacker to view it or try to I should say. Am I missing something??

 

Thanks,

Brian

Thanks Josh. I can open yours but still not mine. I also DL the lang.dll for X4 and X3 from GMCCS website and I could open the X4 alng.dll but not for X3 and that is what I am running (yes we are way behind on updates)I wonder what the differences is

There are many pages on this topic- so the answer may already be there- but my q is:- when i do a tool list with x+ can i edit it to show just certain bits of info- there is too much info shown at present- can i put custom info in for each tool or is all taken from tool def ?- thanks

Thanks Gunther!

 

I saw this posted back a couple pages and didn't see an answer. I was wondering if there was a way for X+ not to duplicate tools when I select a whole toolpath group? Right now to get around that I'm selecting each new tool for X+ to post out.

 

Thanks in advance!
