Active reports sorted tool list from operations manager?

[neurosis]

Is it possible to get a sorted tool list from the operations manager?

 

After yesterdays webinar ive been doing some mods. The default is way overkill for me. I just want some pictures, a tool list, and a comment area.

 

I have a nice tool list using a layout that someone here on the forum created (cant remember who) but the tools do not come out sorted. They display in the order that they are used in the operations.

 

Is there a way to get it to sort them?

[neurosis]

I can see that there is a way to do this but do not see an explanation how to implement it.

When you find out how to do it, please let me know

It works in the stock "operations manager" tool list.

 

You can go in to the report and edit the "Sort" field. Change the "No" to "Yes" and it sorts the tools.

 

I still cant figure out how to implement this in to my tool list.

 

Now someone made this stock list so I know that someone out there knows how to make this work.

[neurosis]

Still no luck on this.

 

Anyone?

Sort was implemented in X5 but I think it's broken in X7...

[neurosis]

I am still using X6

 

I tried to copy mastercams example and it didnt work for me.

[Newbeeee™]

Perhaps it was broken in X6 then and no one noticed because 'everyone' is using X+?

[neurosis]

It works in their example.

 

I'll play with it again when I have time. I am not sure what the catch is (if any). I might be missing something.

 

There is NOTHING that explains how to use it.

Is the one that you can get in the tool manager not what you're looking for?

 

Right click, import/export tools, detailed report...

 

Or do you specifically need it to be from the operation manager?

[neurosis]

I am trying to get a sorted list using the "setup sheet" function by right clicking in the operations manager.

 

So I guess the answer would be yes? When I am creating the set up sheets I would rather the tool lists be sorted.

 

Its not a big deal really. I can see that it is possible using their example (which i do not want to use for production use).
