1. Run the .exe file to install to your root Mastercam directory

(e.g. C:Mcamx2).

 

2. Under Settings, Configuration, Toolpaths, Setup sheet program, select .SET File

 

3 Set all of your Control Definitions to use HTML.set as your Setup sheet template

under the Files Control topic. You'll have to also set this in the active

Control Definition for all existing MCX files.

 

4. Modify your Control Definitions to output parameter information

such as 'stock left' by enabling the 'Write NC Operation information'

check box under the NC parameter file area of the Files Control topic.

To right, right click on your ops in Mastercam's Operations Manager, and select Setup sheet...

got it thanx for the quick reply

Is there any way to set it so it won't get lost when using transform toolpaths?

I'm talking about running a few of the same parts at a time, and the way I have it programmed is op1 from right to left (g54 ...g59), op2 from left to right (g59...g54).

Right now it sets op1--g54, op2--g59 and so on

 

I can get it to do just that by untoggling posting of original ops and selecting only them for a setup sheet. Any simpler way?

 

Edit:

Never mind, I guess it is a simple way of doing it...

 

 

Thanks, Mark
