setup sheets

[JG]

Hi everyone,

 

I have read some of the threads on setup sheets and utilizing VB of Excell to augment the standard output.

 

My question is: Does anyone have a method that will output the typical setup info plus a picture of the part, plus allow the output to be edited or added to at a later date using a typical windoze product ?

 

(this allows the floor to add additional info as they see fit)

 

If someone has something they are willing to share I would be externally greatful.

Gizmo has a very cool setup sheet that will just that. If you do a search you will find a link for the download.

I've also got one that uses Access. There's descriptions of it as well as images of the results.

JG if you lok on the Mian web page for emastercam it has a HTML Set-up Sheet that does what you are asking. It took me about 2 hours to get it to work on the Fadal's but it support JPEG or GIF and you can do a screen/next menu/to clip board then go to paint and paste. Whne you put this JPG or GIF (i recommend JPG better quality) in the same place you put the NC file and a way you g ofrom there. It is very big printed file but for now it will do what I need I have to get all of my access books out to get it to work intertwined. That is somethign that can wait for now.

thanks all for the replies, I found Gismo's link in msg dated 7-16-2003 but they seem to be dead.

 

Rekd sounds good.... is it available for general use ? where ?

 

The html one I tried, but I was not sure if the floor could add to it ?

[Rekd™]

JG, sorry, but no. I'm developing it so I can possibly market it. I'll let you know when it's finished, or if I decide not to market it.

 

It already works extremely well, but I need to change a few things.

Wel REKD you decide to share I want ot be on that list. I be glad to see the interworkings of your brain on that one.

 

But honestly would love to buy it one day. Then that mean someone is getting more that should be.

Hrm, uh, I dunno; When I go back and look some of the code I've written, I gotta kick myself right in the nads. It resembles my garage, I guess. I know where everything is, but if you go looking for something , lol..

Wel Rekd I dont have a garage anymore being out here so I am of course up the creek without a paddle on that one. Oh what fun it is to live a da?n sh?t hole with people that have to stomp on the floor above me. The last ones above me and I almost went round to round about 3:00 am one morning on a wedensday.

 

I am still trying to find crap from the move here from 6 months ago. I cant find this or that half the time and left alot of the baby clothes and stuff there so now with another girl on the way have to find a way to ship all that here.

JG, I've changed the name of the zip file. That's why the link was dead.

You can download here .

Gismo why when I try to use your ncdatasheet.dll

I was asked about register code?

[Günther Massimo - GMCCS]

ak762, you can use it without registration code. But then it will not save your settings.

 

The registration fee is EUR 20 for the first seat and EUR 10 for each further seat.

[Carl Vallance]

Gismo,

Great job.

How do we go about ordering this from you.

[Rekd™]

Gismo great job, can I ask a favor.. How'd you automate the screen shot? Can I do it via VBS?

 

Any guidance would be most appreciated!

I must say very nice program.. one question though.. when I select it to display actual cycle time it says 0 hrs 0 mins 0sec... how do you get it to detect the actual cycle time of the tool path... thanks...

 

 

User error... I figured it out.. again though nice program...

Gismo, does this only run in V9 ?, I'm running V8.

 

thanks

Rekd,

 

You can export an emf image of the current drawing (see script below), however this is a full screen image, we will be adding a scale factor to the emf function shortly.

 

code:

---

Call Main

 

'///////////////////////

'// SUBROUTINE

'///////////////////////

Sub Main

 

Dim strFileName

Dim strPathToImage

Dim strDrawingName

 

' -- Build path to where the image will be saved

strPathToImage = GetPathOfThisScript

 

' -- Get the current file name

strFileName = GetCurrentFileName

 

' -- Strip the path

strDrawingName = ParseName(GetCurrentFileName)

 

' -- Replace it

strDrawingName = Replace(strDrawingName, "MC9", "EMF")

 

' -- Build the fullpath

strPathToImage = AddBackSlash(strPathToImage) & strDrawingName

 

' -- Fit screen

Call RepaintScreen(True)

 

' -- Create the file

If DoMetafile(strPathToImage) Then

ShowString "'" & strPathToImage & "' has been created"

Else

ShowString "Unable to create EMF file"

End If

 

End Sub

 

 

'///////////////////////

'// FUNCTION

'///////////////////////

Public Function AddBackSlash(sPath)

 

If Len(Trim(sPath)) > 0 Then

If Right(sPath, 1) <> "" Then

sPath = sPath & ""

End If

End If

 

AddBackSlash = sPath

 

End Function

 

'///////////////////////

'// FUNCTION

'///////////////////////

Public Function ParseName( sPath)

 

Dim strX

Dim intX

 

intX = InStrRev(sPath, "")

 

strX = Trim(Right(sPath, Len(sPath) - intX))

 

If Right(strX, 1) = Chr(0) Then

ParseName = Left(strX, Len(strX) - 1)

Else

ParseName = strX

End If

 

End Function

Mick,

 

I use Irfanviewer, which has a command line interpreter. With it, I can specify a file to convert to, with a file name, AS WELL AS resize the image! All from the script you provided. Thanks! This is gonna be totally bitchen!

 

'Rekd teh CNC Kicks Arse!

[Günther Massimo - GMCCS]

Carl Vallance, I'll mail you.

 

Rekd, if you want a high quality scaled screenshot, then the best way is to zoom out from the part and grab that particular portion of the screen. For that I did my own function with MASM. I don't think this is possible with VBS.

If you do a full screenshot and scale it after, the quality is not very good.

 

 

I'm about to add also a tool list for the output.

I'm afraid to say yes.
