Set up Sheets in X^4

[wganders]

I'm really having a problem getting a setup sheet from X^4 that isn't 12 pages deep. I called our local office and they were not much help. Does anyone know how to use the Active Designer program that comes with X^4? I have Active Report as my Setup Sheet Program and would like to include the graphics along with the tool list and similar info; just not 12 pages of it.

I'm working on one.

Just because of the Overkill as you stated.

 

Program name

Screen shot

Tools with Dia and corner rad.

Tools speed and feed

Tool Maximum Z cut in each operation

 

(Laser touch off here, nothing like breaking the tool at 3 a.m. and having it p.u. the holder as Z 0 and then running the program with the Holder)!?!

Last but not least

Cycle time.

I'm 80% there with this project and will post back here with it.

Its been a long long time since I have used anything but X+ for my setup sheets.

How do I get Mastercam to print out this setup sheet. I have set my config to active report, but where do i get mastercam to print the setup sheet.

Found it guys, I pressed help in mastercam and there was the answer..

x+ still the best one , simple and complete

 

and x+ now supports lathe operations, so i don't even use any other setup sheets like HTML or active reports.

Where do I get X+? Is it a stand-alone program?

 

Thanks

Hi all,

 

Just to let you know, we released a tutorial on using the ActiveReports Designer to customize setup sheets. The tutorial is available from your Reseller.
