Hey colin I had a question on vb script for setup sheet

Whats up Rick?

I couldn't get the 5 axis setup sheet to work.

we have a vb programmer here that knows it well but needs to know where the information is coming from we already have a setup sheet format to put it into

a simple example and/or notes where the info comes from would be great

Hi Rick,

 

The graphic for our setup sheets gets stored in this folder:

 

C:Temp

 

We create this graphic by doing a File - Print. We purchased a print driver that prints the graphics window to a file. We create our graphics as .cgm files because thats what our adobe pdf converter takes. You could probably use a .jpg instead if you only want to save the setup sheet as a Word doc but your VB programmer will need to change the code.

 

Other than the setup sheet graphic all of the information that you need to input into the setup sheet will be input using dialog boxes. When you select the 5axisdoc.vbs from the VB Script manager and press "run" it will open a dialog prompt box. You will be asked a series of questions that you will answer. That is the way it is supposed to work. I can try and help you answer specific questions as they come up, but I'm not very fluent at VB yet. You might get some good help in the Developers forum.

 

HTH,
