X+ Tool (Setup sheet and more)

[Tom Dorgan from American Precision]

Bump:D Can anyone enlighten me on the excel setup sheet? Is it one you have to pay for or is it for sharing?

This setup sheet looks awesome! Just one issue I'm having though. When I run the setup sheet it outputs the filename as "t.htm". It is in the proper directory though! Anyways, how can I set it to use the same filename as the operations that I've selected? Also, Is it possible to add a link in it to the NC file, which would also be the same name as the operations I've selected.

 

Thanks.

Matt, asuming you have selected more then one operation with diffrent names. Do you want separate sheets for each operation?

 

I'll think about adding a link to the nc file.

[Matthew]

I create a toolpath group for each operation on my part. I could have different groups, each one would be named "part-op10", "part-op20", "part-op30" etc. and under each group would be all the toolpath operations to complete that side of the part. Is there a way to get this setup sheet to use that name so in my directory I would end up with "part-op10.htm" and so on for each operation I have. Right now it defaults and posts it out as "t.htm". It doesn't prompt me for a name and I cannot see where to change it.

 

Also, Can this be run from a VBS script? What would I need to do to be able to select a bunch of operations, click one button possibly linked to a VBS script and get the NC file posted and the setup sheet made at the same time?

 

Previously in V9 I would post the NC file, create the HTML setup sheet and then print a screen shot to a PDF file (Which I could open with a link from the HTML setup sheet). Your setup sheet has eliminated the screen shot into a PDF file saving me one step by putting the current screen shot into the setup sheet!

 

Thanks, this setup sheet looks great!

Looks like a great tool Gunther. Now I just need to get a good template from one of you guys so I can see what I need to do to modify to fit my needs.

Bruce? Anyone?

[Bruce Caulley]

Tommy, I'll send you one of mine on monday.

Hi, I'm not able to get the cut_length parameter come out with corect values. Don't know if I run into a bug ?

[DavidB]

Bruce, can I take a look also?

 

Thanks

[DavidB]

How can the tool list be printed?

 

Can the tool list be edited to show only colums that I would like to see?

 

This is great guys thanks InterCAM.

DavidB, click on HTML Output, then print from Internet explorer or Firefox or whatever you use.

You can shrink the colums you don't want to see to zero. You are also able to drag the colums at any position you like.

 

Matt, I'm sure that you can run the tools from VB. Ask the VB guys in this forum.

Any HTML-Browser allows you to make a "save as". Look at the File menu in your browser.

Gunther, I really like the Tool list that is given as standard, but I would like to be able to print it? I don't want to print the HTML tool list.

Thanks

Bruce, Tommy, anyone Cann I get this template too ???

How works this template ??

I this just a .xlt file ??

How did I get that the c-hook takes this template ??

 

Thanks

[Bruce Caulley]

You can use any xlt as long as it is saved in the X+ directory as xsetupsheet.xlt The one I use is one that I made myself to suit our needs. I might post a pic tomorrow.

Günther,

 

Ok, Thanks. I just assumed it was saving it when I created it. I just noticed that it isn't actually saving it as "t.htm". I was able to File-Save it. Is it possible to have it save before it is displayed as the same name that is defined for the .NC file? Or is that something for a future release?

 

Thanks.

[Joel Schreiner]

Can you use this in lathe? I am having troubles getting it to work.

[Günther Massimo - GMCCS]

Only Mill at the moment.

[Joel Schreiner]

Do you think think it ever will ? I use the mill one all the time and it works great.

thank you joel

Jeff,

Hidy-ho neighbor. I didn't know there was a shop in High Ridge. I tried to go to your website but it was unavailable. what do you guys do?

[betts]

For anyone interested in seeing another version of the set-up sheet form V9, I put "ncdatasheet.xlt" in the "set-up sheet" folder on the ftp.

 

My acknowledgements to Bruce, as I looked at his for a base, then masaged it to fit our needs.

 

I haven't got it done yet for X but you can see what it does in V9 if any of you are still using it. You have to move your pic to where you want it, which I sometimes put on separate page if I have lots of prgs.

[ILv2Rk]
