Setup sheet linked to Viewsheets?

[machineimpossible]

I know the standard setup sheet outputs an image of your current graphics window when generating the report. Is it possible to have the setup sheet report do the same for all your current view sheets' graphic windows? I would like to have several established views and have the setup sheet report output an image for each one. 

Thanks

I normally make up my images and add them when making the report. Not a way to have it capture them when making it automatically. You can add them by yourself when clicking on the view sheets and taking the pictures if you want, but I have found that way to skew the picture in the past why I make them up before hand and then add them before completing the process.

Do those images that you capture from the viewsheets remain stored in the setup report, such that if I close the file and open it up 6 months later and post a setup report, I don't need to recapture those images?

Nope I have requested that ability. The only thing you can do is have a folder in the job folder of your setup images and then 6 months later re-grab them when making the new report. I have some projects going back 7 years I still support and when I need to repost a program and make an updated setup sheet I just grab them.

I also seem to remember you could have a tiled graphics window of several viewsheets, or did they get rid of that?

Yes that has been gone for over a decade. Verify will allow it, but not the standard Mastercam.

Like crazy^millman said, you can't tie your s/u sheet to the viewsheet.  But remember, you can bookmark your viewsheets so that you have the same view every time you go to print your set-up sheets.  That is what I do with mine.  I have many repeating parts that I have my files set up this way, with locked viewsheets.

I see how the bookmarked viewsheets can help make the screen captures easier. Now the issue I am having is adding the CAPTURE sub-report to setup sheet design in Active Reports. I can't seem to get it to work as it does in the standard Setup Sheet (MILL).rpx
