set-up sheet

[TREV]

hello,

just curious as to running the set up sheet out off op manager.my file is 124meg i tried to do the set up sheet and had to esc after letting it run for over 20 min. i normally just create a doc file and print it out to give to the set up person,but thought i would try something different. i am using mill level 3 ver 9.1. my box has a pent 3 2.5 gig with 1.5gig of ram.am i doing something wrong or does this option always take a long time to spit out the info?

any help is appreciated

How long does it take to POST that toolpath?

 

Which setup sheet generator you are referring to...

MILL.SET?

The HTML setup sheet from In-House?

 

MILL.SET could take "a bit" longer than your Post Processor, since it actually scans the NCI file twice and your PST may not have a need to do that.

Do you have the fastmode switch on in the .set file? If not, turn it on. If you don't have it, put it in. (I've seen a couple posts that don't have the switch in them.)

 

code:

---

  # --------------------------------------------------------------------------

# Debugging and Factory Set Program Switches

# --------------------------------------------------------------------------

fastmode : no #Posting speed optimizition

rekd, heres what i got.

# Debugging and program switches

# --------------------------------------------------------------------------

fastmode : 1 #Posting speed optimizition

bug1 : 2 #0=No display, 1=Generic list box, 2=Editor

bug2 : 0 #Append postline labels, non-zero is column position?

bug3 : 0 #Append whatline no. to each NC line?

bug4 : 0 #Append NCI line no. to each NC line?

whatno : yes #Do not perform whatline branches? (leave as yes)

Change the "1" after fastmode to a zero ("0")

Um, unless I am badly mistaken, setting fastmode to 'no' or '0' will enable debug processing, and will slow the post down quite a bit. If you wanted to enable fastmode, you'd need to set it to '1' or 'yes'.

rick,

you are correct my freind i just wasted 45 minites of my friday posting out a bad code

i switched the "1" to a "0" and bad things happened now i'm back to the old post waiting some more. the issue with long times to run the set-up sheet still exists.

rekd thanks for the stab at it,i'll have to keep searching.

next time i mod my post i'll try a smaller program the one i just ran is 189meg. my fault.

still looking for more suggestions on the set-up issue.

thanks all,

trevor
