Add Tool Manufacturer to Set Up Sheet

[Wildcat]

How can I add the tool manufacturer name to my set up sheet? I cant find the XML Tag for the name. Code is the number but I want the name as well.

Need to Ping Mick Geroge from CNC Software he will be your best person to ask about this.

Hi!

 

In this article it describes the sp tags for 2018 mastercam version of toolmanager, where you can use tags that are used for your task.

https://kb.mastercam.com/KnowledgebaseArticle50506.aspx?Keywords=active+report

I tried with a textbox and added in the DataField field:

spTool/ManufacturerName

In the Text field:

ManufacturerName

Then if you make a new text box in your setup sheet and add this you would be good to go with the Manufacturers name.

 

The sp tags are  fields from the standalone tool manager that have been requested by users as described on mastercam knowledge base site.

they may change or be deleted in the future it mentions, still this worked today with manufacturers name!

One can download an excel sheet from the link above containing all the different tags available so i do not provide it here.

 

hope this helps!
