Anyone find an answer to this??

 

I'm getting the exact same message.

 

Thanks.

You can not use the files from from X5.

X+ for X6 is not compatible with the old files.

Should I be able to take my jp.tl and jp.css and copy it to another computer?

 

I thought I might but I am getting an error when trying to launch it on the copied "to" computer

yes, that should work.

John,

 

I've found that reducing the size of the graphics window in Mastercam also reduces the size of the screen capture. Sometimes I need to shrink it to a third of the normal size to get correct size & placement on the tool list.

 

It would be really nice to be able to specify this in the css...along with alternate colored backgrounds for the tool list like before!

 

John

You can add the following lines to the css to set the screen capture size to a maximum size of 320 pixels (or any other size).

.HEADSCREENSHOT img{

max-height: 320px;

max-width: 320px;

}

Well that is what I thought Gunther and no go. I am using Firefox to by the way.

pls send me your css file.

Is there a way to get the .nc file name added in here?

 

and unless there's a way to do it that I am missing, a nice addition, I think at least would be the ability to type in comments about the setup.

 

Being able to navigate and insert additional screen caps as well, might be nice as well.

-Progname is part of the parameters you can add to the list.

-Comments can be typed in at the header.

Gunther, for some resion sense X6 I have not been able to get the Logo to work.

 

Here is the header of my XSS.css. I have tried both local and internet as you can see.

I know I am missing something in front of my face.

 

 

/* company logo <div> - location and size of image*/

.LOGO{

position:relative;

 

/* size of your logo */

width:219px;

height:93px;

 

/* position of your logo */

left:8px;

top:8px;

 

/* location of your logo */

 

local

/* background-image:url(file:///E:/pre-ppcadcam.png); */

 

/* internet */

/* background-image:url(http://www.mastercam.us/pre-ppcadcam.png); */

 

background-repeat:no-repeat;

background-position:0px 0px;

z-index:1;

}

 

/* company logo <div> - location and size of image*/

.LOGO img

{

border:solid 1px;

}

 

 

/* header container <div> - size and position */

.HEADINFOTEXT{

position:relative;

left:0px;

top:200px;

max-width:500px;

background-color:white;

}

You have to uncomment the line.

Remove "/*" and "*/"

background-image:url(http://www.mastercam.us/pre-ppcadcam.png);

Did you read the changes?

Thank you Gunther for the update. The addition of the tp groupname was much appreciated. I am having problem though.I have several toolpath groups

in one machine group and no matter which toolpath group I select the first toolpath group name is the one that appears. Any Ideas?

It's actually the name of the active group. Just make the group active. Pull the red arrow in the specific group.

New version of X+ is available.

Please read further information on my web page.

Rename NCI is available now.

Hello Gunther,

 

The Z-Min dimension output for is incorrect for 3d surface tool paths. Mcam X6MU1. Could you please look into this?

fixed.

 

It looks like a sort of macro where you can draw lines in and create a tool path over those lines using a particular size tool that you choose, all in one shot. I can see using it for, say, a face-mill over an odd shaped pattern. Is that what it was designed for?

 

You got it.

I installed X+ for McamX6 some time ago and the chaining dialog wasn't included with the install at the time. I downloaded the X+ add on again earlier today, installed it and again, no chaining dialog. I figured that it wouldn't reinstall over an existing installation so I deleted the X+ toolbar, shut down Mastercam, and ran the X+ executable again. No luck. I now have no X+ toolbar and no apparent way of getting it back. Any ideas?

 

Thanks

You need to customize your toolbar.

Customize toolbars -> category -> X+

The chaining dialog was added one month ago, I think.

Hello Gunther,

 

The Z-Min dimension output for is incorrect for 3d surface tool paths. Mcam X6MU1. Could you please look into this?

Can you send me an example please?

It looks OK to me.

Thanks Gunther.

 

1 more question - is it possible to specify the path where the HTML file is saved?

The only way is:

Save as... from your Browser.

How do I change the output of the op#'s in the setup sheet? Right now it is outputting the op# as the order the tool paths were created - not the current order.

 

Thanks!

fixed.

You could write a small vbscript like RunCommand.vbs which launches X+. The script could be launched from the post.

RunX+.vbs

Dim WshShell

Call Main()


Sub Main()
   Call RunFTCommand("XSetupsheet", "m_main") 
   set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
   WshShell.SendKeys "~"

End Sub

in my to do list;)

If you are familar with java script, you may link a script file to your HTML document.

Just copy your script file to the "...\shared mcamx6\X+" folder.

It has to be the same name like your template.

For example.: "...\shared mcamx6\X+\default_xss.js".

The script will then be linked into the HTML document.

For example check the templates groupname.xss or javascript.xss, which are part of the X+ installation.

With scripts you have huge power of the HTML document. You can even link to a data base.

I'm thinking of adding a new parameter in the list. Something like "active toolpath group".

...

Added.

Make sure the red arrow is in the correct toolpath group when creating the setup sheet.

Thanks Günther!

 

It seems with this change we lost the ability to grab the Tool Path Group Comment. Before it output under "Machine Group". Attached is a picture. The Black box is outputting now as "Machine Group" which is great. Can we also have one that outputs "Tool Path Group" (Red Box)?

 

Thanks for all your work!

 

Josh-

Yes, that was a bug.

Toolpath group comment has to appear in the content of the table, because you may have many toolpath groups.

Anyway to get the "Material" to output correctly? It used to pull from the Machine but now it doesn't?

 

Thanks,

 

Josh-

Fixed.

New upload.

Chaining dialog added.

Use Firefox.

You can rightclick on the pictures or icon to examine the full path to the image.

Check if the path is valid.

Do you use X6?
