Renaming Html set up sheet.

[Scott Sizemore]

For the life of me I can not get my html setup sheet to output an .html extension. It keeps out putting an .nc extension. This a version 9 html sheet (slightly altered in house solutions version) thet I ran the updatepst on and fixed a couple of other issues but I can't get this one fixed. Any help would be appreciated

I used to use sextnc .html

 

Now I use

 

sexthtml .HTML

 

and

 

code:

---

ppost$      # Called after posting is complete and all files are closed

sfilename1 = smcpath$ + smcname$ + sexthtml

 

sfilename2 = spathnc$ + snamenc$ + sextdoc

 

result = 1

result = fexist (sfilename1)

if result = 1, result = remove(sfilename1)

 

result = 1

result = fexist (sfilename2)

if result = 1, result = rename(sfilename2,sfilename1)

You are the man!!!! But now my file name path is always "machine_group_1" it doesn't seem to change no matter what I change my nc file name to. I really apprecialte the help.

Dave,

I finally (not quite sure how) got it fixed thank you for all your help.

Thanks Dave -

 

The mods you posted worked - although it causes my html.set to create a .doc file. We may want to do away with the .html file and save the doc as a .pdf (that's in the future) anyway.

 

Now -

 

My 'operation' list prints out each step of the tool motion as single lines, and does not list each operation (operation) like V9 html.set does.

 

Any suggestions?

Also Dave -

 

(as I haven't yet read all the MastercamX Post Parameter Ref.pdf)what does the '$' mean? I noted the changes (in blue) from my V9 html.set to the VX html.set file.

 

Thanks, Kathy

Kathy,

 

The $ at the end now denotes the system variables.

 

As it was explained to me, it is so anyone who might edit a post and create new variables will probably not use an already existing variable name since they all have $ at the end of them.

 

There may be a more technical reason but if so I have not heard it yet.

Thanks John -

 

Looks like I get to spend some time tomorrow reading the book. It’s been so long since I’ve fooled with my html.set file – it’s relearning all over again.

 

I still haven’t gotten my head around the machine group and file naming conventions for McamX operations…
