html setup sheet in MR1/SP2 X problem

[kathy]

Is there anyone else using the html setup sheets in X, and have installed the latest and greatest - MR1/SP2?

 

Got another problem.

 

After install of the release, my setup sheets won’t process like before – i.e. go to the directory specified in the ‘toolpath name’ field named with the file name specified in the ‘group name’ field. It is processed as ‘setupsht.html’ in the nci directory.

 

Anyone venture a quick fix??

Same problem here Kathy, waiting to hear back from Dave Thomson.

 

Hand corrections for the time being

[Allan Brown]

spathnc$ and snamenc$ in are reported as the temp nci (spathnci$) directory name and the temp nci file name (snamenci$) during 'posting' (e.g. .set setup sheet creation). The post gods @ CNC Software/Mastercam are aware of the issue.

JUst found another issue, I think, don't know if it's the same one though.

 

I brought a file in from V9, generated an html setup sheet but on my tool list where is shows my Z depths all of my drill cycles show as Z+2.000

My contours appear OK though.

 

Any ideas?

rotaxtyp$ : 9999

 

needs to be changed to

 

rotaxtyp$ : 3

 

if you have an encrypted html.set / hmtl.psb file set, I'll have to do it for you.

Thanks Dave

Good Morning Dave -

 

Any prognosis on when this will be fixed??

I believe I am having a problem that fits into this one.

 

HTML setup sheet from V9 when properly loaded in X will not work. (HTML.set) Gives an error stating “cannot find SETUPSHT.doc in folder C:McamxMillNCI” and then opens internet browser window to specified homepage.

 

 

Anybody out there had this problem?

Setup sheet problens. Here we go again, Where in the word is the Quality dept, I gess they really left out "U and I" in quality. I sure hope this gets fixed soon.

[Allan Brown]

Contact Mastercam's tech support or QC group. Ask for 'FixedSetupSheet.dll'

 

It's a dll that your can select under Setup sheet Other (vs. GUI or .SET) in your configuration.

 

Apparently corrects the filenaming issues.

[kathy]

Looks like it's working!

 

Thanks, Kathy

It's now on the FTP under setup sheets.

 

Instructions:

 

I put the file in the c:mcamx root directory. I opened up the 'System Configuration' dialog box and opened up 'toolpath' topic. In 'Setup Sheet Program' drop down field, pick 'other' and c:mcamx directory opens. Change file type to *.* and pick the FixedSetupSheet.dll file. Save and there you are!

[Storkman]

Great! Thanks folks.

I am now getting Machine Group 1's program name in Machine group 1 and every other machine group...

 

I guess it's sorta fixed ? If you only have 1 Machine group ?

[Guest]

IN the files section rename you machine group 1 to the name you want, that is where the html setup pulls the name from.

 

Alos Make sure the little red arrow is at the bottom of the op you are creating the setup sheet for.

 

HTH

[Matt Berube at Ferron Mold]

I couldn't get the HTML setup sheet to work. Some of what you said helps on the .set sheet though...

 

The red arrow seems to help in machine group 2 even without renaming the machine groups. Machine group 3 won't output the program name correctly no matter what I change...

 

Please tell me they're working on this...

[kathy]

I'm going to bump this to the top...

 

Last week I installed two more seats of Mastercam X here at work, and I'm trying to get them both up and running and the config's up to date with all of our custom stuff.

 

I cannot get our custom .html setup sheet to work. Yes, I have the file 'fixedsetupsheet.dll' loaded. I also installed the 1/17/2006 Mastercam web download on one seat this afternoon.

 

When I was installing and dialing in MR1 back in January I could just sort of limp along getting everything to work. Than I switched to the Beta installations and rarely run MR1. Do I remember what I did back in January? So I guess my frustration is that it would be nice to be able to load and configure Mastercam by following a set list of instructions with the patches and fixes clearly identified by date and Mastercam install. For example, ‘xxxx.dll’ works with MR1/SP1, build date 12/1/2005, but not MR1/SP2, build date 1/17/2006. !!

 

In addition, shouldn’t the SP# be visible when I cnt’l v to show the Mastercam version? I am running MR1 (10.1.3.34 with a build date of 1/6/2006) but I don’t remember what service packs I installed. The new seat has the mastercamx-mr1-web.exe, the version shows MR1 (10.1.3.34 with a build date of 1/6/2006 – when I first checked it had a build date of 1969!!!)

 

I’ve sent two zip-to-go files to qc.

Bump

 

(again)

[CDL2042]

My drill depths always come out Z.000, and I already have the fixedsetupsheet.dll.

 

There is no rotaxtype in my setup sheet.

 

Any suggestions?

[Allan Brown]

Kathy - I'll look at your files and report back.

 

CDL2042 - What setup sheet are you running?

[CDL2042]

Dave-it's call ss2.set

 

It's one the company had already before I started, so I'm not sure where it came from.

[Allan Brown]

CDL2042 - Totally depends on the setup sheet then. You might need to add:

 

rotatyp$ = 3 to the top of your setup sheet. You could upload your .set to the FTP to get people here to help.

Kathy - I still don't understand your issue. You put in an NC filename, and that doesn't report correctly in the HTML file?

 

In MR1/SP2 you need to get FixedSetupSheet.dll and copy it to your chooks folder (i.e. c:mcamxchooks). Open MR1, go to Settings/Config/Toolpaths, select ‘Other’ in the dropdown and browse to the chooks folder. Select the file (FixedSetupSheet.dll), and then run the Setup sheet as you normally would via the OpMgr.

[CDL2042]

I disabled all my canned drill cycles in the machine control definition and the setup sheet works great, but then my g-code is screwed up.

 

Any ideas?

[Paul Decelles]

Open the mill.set file that is installed with the software. Copy and paste the entire pprep$ postblock into your ss2.set file. Reactivate the canned cycles in your control definition.
