Setup Sheet Output (Help!)

[Rodney @ Roush Yates Engines]

Hi,

 

In my set-up sheet, I output the tool name as a tool description for tool setup. In X I’m not getting all of the text output that I entered in the tool description.

 

It looks like it stops at a period.

 

Example;

 

X tool Description: # F DRILL .257 DIA. 5/16-18 Tap Drill 2.25 Min Length

 

Setup Sheet Output: # F DRILL .257 DIA

 

Has anyone had this problem before?

I know this problem. I tried on another: Tool Manager/Import-Export tools/Report File. It has not helped, the problem has remained. Help, I can not make Tool List for job.

Okay - I have a new

 

I want to swap out .set files ‘on the fly’ for troubleshooting.

 

I open system configuration, Mill Setup Sheet and specify the .set file I want to use, save and close.

Right click my Machine Group, ‘Setup Sheet’ and away it goes processing with my previously selected file.

 

So I try the routine closing Mcam, reopening, new file, checking my settings, and still it wants to use the previous file.

 

Is there some other place tagged for the .set file??
