Creating setup sheets

Hello,

 

I am not sure if this is the correct forum but am sending out my question in hopes of getting some assistance.

 

I have gone through most of the Mastercam X6, Creating Setup Sheets with the Active Reports Designer tutorial with, some, ok results. I am learning Mastercam, as well as this and would like to thank all of you that have offered your support in the past. I did download a tutorial and sample files to work with. My question is can I modify the original eight XML tags descriptions ? I do not know XML put from looking at some files it does not look too hard to figure out, am I wrong? If anyone has experience with making/modifying setup sheets and wouldn't mind sharing, I am eager to learn.

 

Oh, I did sign up for MastercamU. Waiting for the e-mail package.

 

Thank you all again,

Yes. I tried that but when I generate the setup sheet a couple of the fields remain as it was before I changed it. I will give it another try. Another thing I am having difficulty with is the Generated Text to out put the correct information. It outputs the same label in all of the fields. I would send a shot of what I am talking about but I don't know how to attach a file. I'm still new.

Just click on More reply options at the bottom of the quick reply box, then there is an option there to attach files. A picture would be handy.

Thanks for educating me on attaching files.

 

I looked again at the .bmp that you sent. I noticed that the first three fields are blank. These are the ones that will not change, for me. ? I am going to start fresh with a new template and be careful to pay attention to the details. I have made so many changes to this one that I'm chasing my tail and probably overlooking the obvious. I would forward you a snapshot but I have this pretty jumbled up, thus, Starting Over. I am grateful for your support and depending on the outcome, I may be back for more.

 

Respectfully,

Hello,

Here is a copy of what I have so far. Pretty generic but I can refine it later. I have not been able to stick with it., keep getting pulled off the project. I still need to modify a few things and could use a little help. The first page looks good but I would like to know how to get the comments to output in the Comments: section.

 

2) The tool info: How do I shrink it to fit more tools on one page? I tried, but did something to mess it up, dropped off images.

 

3) The "tool list" report, I don't need the images duplicated, just the listed text.

 

If anyone has time to offer some tips and tricks that would be awesome. I still have more to learn so I will be grinding on.

 

I did not include the other files as I was not sure if anyone has time to help. I will put them up if needed.

 

Thank you,

rchipper
