Setup sheets

[Bobcat1970]

I'm trying to edit the MILL.SET post that spits out the setup sheet so that it will be more like a detailed tool list. I've gotten it so that it won't output the description of a tool more than once even if a tool appears in multiple operations.

However, these operations need to be grouped together for the tool information to be output only once. For example, tool #1 can perform operations 1, 2, and 3, and tool #2 can perform operations 4, 5, and 6. When I post out the setup sheet, I'll get a list of tools #1 and #2.

But in that same program, if tool #1 comes out again and does operation 7, when I post the setup sheet I'll get a list of tools #1, #2, and #1 again.

 

Anybody have any ideas on how I can fix this problem?

 

Thnx

I asked about this same topic awhile back, it's near the middle to bottom of the thread.

The HTML setup sheet from in-house is nice, not sure what it costs though. If all you want is a tool list that is sorted in numerical order with no duplicates, I have exactly what you are looking for. Shoot me an email...

There are a couple .set setup sheets on the FTP site somewhere. The one I'm using started as one of them.

I could never get my V9 .HTML sheet to update to the X version. So I ended up getting one from in-house. I like it but its a PITA if you want to tweak something due to it being locked.

I've got a mill setup sheet called toollist.set that buffers all the tools and outputs a nice numeric tool list. No fancy pictures, and you would have to customize the header to get additional setup info like stock size and work offset stuff, but that is easy compared to the magic that goes on in the tool buffers. Only drawback is that it only works for mill.

 

I'm actually working on a Lathe version, but it will be a while. I'm going to try and use the .set file to output a CSV file will all the values I need and then use a Macro or Template in Excel to format the lathe tool list properly...

I use and like the x+ setup sheet

 

 

there is also a toollist, but I don't use it.

For Milling X+ can not be beat. It is everything you could want. My only problem with it is the lack of support for Lathe. If you need a mill setup sheet program, do yourself a favor and get X+.

Is there a link for X+? I found one and it was in a different language.

I have asked and had some mods done. But, I dont like to wait days or even weeks for something I could do in a few minutes.
