HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE HTML SETUP SHEET.

[Jeff2005]

Can anyone help? I loaded the MR2 and side by side and when I tried to go back to MR1 the HTML setup sheet doesn't work now. It goes all the way through the questions it asked then it does nothing. Can anyone help?

 

 

Thanks,

Jeff

Jeff,

 

Go through the read me file that comes with the setup sheet. It will guide you through setup. Specifically you have to change the item in your current control def to make that setup sheet active.

I don't see the read me file. It should be with the html.set, right?

When you run the .exe to install it pops up for you.

 

HTML Setup Sheet Template - Mastercam X2

----------------------------------------

 

This product launches in the application associated with HTML files.

 

It is intended for use with Mastercam X2.

 

Mill, Lathe, and Router products are supported, including Mill/Turn applications.

 

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.

Ok I understand that. It will go through all the steps when I am trying to post a setup sheet, but when it gets to the end it does nothing.

Open your html.set and check

 

#Root Mastercam location

sroot "C:mcamx"

 

Some versions contain that. (newer versions set that based on the location of mp.dll).

 

It needs to match your install directory.

 

You also need to have supporting files like

 

C:mcamx2chookshtml_launch.exe

 

and

 

c:mcamx2setup*.gif

 

If the setup sheet can't find the launcher app, nothing will pop up after creation.
