Active Reports - min/max x-y-z

[gms1]

Is there a setting to make the min/max x-y-z values the active report spits out the actual values in the nc file? Right now it gives me values based on world coordinates, not what the values are based on the WCS I'm in which is what the operator will see in the program. So if my WCS is setup .100 off of x and y all the numbers in the active report are off .100.

BUMP.

 

I'd like to add max Z depthin my tool list. Is there a way to edit this or do I have to use Active Report Designer?

I used the tool listing for Z max but when working in a different WCS, it gets messed up.

 

CNC suggested I use the variable out of Operation, which I did, now I get NO value at all

After I posted this I sent a giant laundry list of changes/fixes/needs for active reports to qc including this issue. I was told it was forwarded to the product manager at cnc software but haven't heard anything since then.

 

I tried both of the variables too JP and couldn't get it to work either.

one thing that drives me absolutely nuts, is max z not showing up for surface toolpaths...That number is one of THE most important information to get from any setup sheet. think about it- for surface toolpaths you really don't know the max z from the toolpath (aside from occasional use of depth limits). For all the 100's of fields that active reports has, ANY cheezy g-code editor can find max z.

 

Wonder how much they paid for crystal reports? yet again, so close but yet so very far.... when you actually try to use it.

I suppose it makes some sort of sense. it would have to have posted code or nci? to read it from, whereas all the other fields are pulled from xml.

 

oh, I can get max z from within the operations varialbe.

Hi JParis,

 

Tell if this problem already solved?

I gave up on it, I have not revisited the issue
